Hi AJ,
No, there is still no resolution of names on the network for hosts that
have DHCP assigned addresses.
This is strange, as in the logs I see the following:
Mar 4 15:46:19 dhcpd DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.5.194 from
00:16:42:21:8f:b2 (tiny) via br0
where tiny is the name of the host.
I can't quite work out why this is not working, as from the sounds of
it, it should pretty much work 'out of the box'
