hi list, does anyone have an idea what to do if i want to plug my laptop into my lokal LAN and the laptop should be reachable via name resolving?
i get an IP address via dhcp from an windows dhcp server but he doesn't enters the computer name into the dhcp leases nor in my active diretory DNS. furthermore, i don't want to hardcode any IP or macaddresses somewhere like /etc/hosts, etc... the name resolusion and IP gathering should by dynamically. do you know what i've forgotten? or is it only possible using a local samba server (for netbios nameing) TIA andrew
