If it's stock dnsmasq, you can probably provide a mapping of MAC
address to hostname in /etc/ethers, and then IP address to hostname in
/etc/hosts.

If you do that, make sure that you stop dnsmasq, then remove any
"wrong" leases from /tmp/dhcp.leases, then restart it.

But if it's all wrapped up in ipcop, you'll have to get someone else
to help ... :-)
