Did you try adding your domain-name after the hostname? If that works, then you might have to add (probably uncomment) a line in the dnsmasq.conf file to auto-append it.
I think you can do that on a windows client as well by setting the dns search order ("Append these suffixes...") in TCP settings. Maybe that helps. -AJ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip Trickett (List)" <phil...@techworks.ie> To: <efw-user@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009 6:42 AM Subject: [Efw-user] Local hostnames - DHCP > Hi, > > I was just wondering if it is possible to have resolving local hostnames > for machines that get the IP addresses from DHCP? > > e.g. If I connect a laptop (laptop1) to the network, and then try to > ping it on the network: > > ping laptop1 > I get: > ping: unknown host laptop1 > > I can see the host names in the DHCP part of the services tab. > > I upgraded to endian from IPCop, and under IPCop all local hostnames > would resolve correctly. > > Could this be due to the way it has been configured? > > Thanks, > > Phil > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, > CA > -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the > Enterprise > -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source > participation > -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: > SFAD > http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H > _______________________________________________ > Efw-user mailing list > Efw-user@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/efw-user > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Efw-user mailing list Efw-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/efw-user
