Well, starting with quantal we are using gethostname() as you can see in the default dhclient.conf:
stgraber@castiana:~/Desktop/isc/quantal$ grep gethost isc-dhcp-4.2.4/debian/dhclient.conf send host-name = gethostname(); send fqdn.fqdn = gethostname(); So, the problem appears to be that Windows gets confused when both fields are set, sadly, not setting fqdn.fqdn will make dhcpv6 fail miserably, so unless there's an easy to have fqdn.fqdn only be set when doing dhcpv6, I still prefer breaking DNS for some Windows DHCP than breaking for 100% of the dhcpv6 implementations. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1088682 Title: possible regression with isc-dhcp-client does not send hostnames in DHCPv6 by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/isc-dhcp/+bug/1088682/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
