Actually, that's not true. I have a number of devices on my network that get their hostnames via dhcp. My squeezeboxes used to be among them. I've attached a wireshark capture of the dhcp offer that shows my dhcp server pushing out a number of options including hostname, domain name, dns, wins server, and others. My dhcp updates my dns, but that's not really at issue. What is at issue is that I have to manually set the squeezeboxes' device names in their network setups in order for them to show up properly in squeezecenter. This used to not be the case. It used to be the case that the hostnames of my two squeezeboxes, squeeze and squeeze-ds would get set automatically and would show up in slimserver. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: dhcp.offer.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5738| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- knathraak ------------------------------------------------------------------------ knathraak's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4126 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51674 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
