I had the same problem, I believe: udhcpc did not set the host name in the DHCP server.
When examining the problem, I learned that this is a configuration issue: Adding the option "hostname $(hostname)" to the configuration of the respective interface in /etc/network/interfaces and reinitializing the interface (ifdown/ifup) solved the problem. The "hostname" entry is explained in the man page for interfaces, the "$(hostname)" was just a guess (it's not explained in that man page) and worked. However, I'd prefer this to be enabled by default as long as this can't cause other problems. -- udhcpc doesn't set hostname in doscover packet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/357518 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
