Thanks for your quick response Mat. The default was the first I've tried. I thought I had tried everything, but I overlooked post #23 about the FRITZ!Box that I have as well. The solution mentioned there works for me too !!
I don't understand the logic behind it, the FRITZ!Box already knows the MAC address (from the nic itself, I guess). Upgrading the firmware did not change this behaviour, but it does now enable you to enter the hostname yourself. -- dhcp3-client: Does not send hostname to server by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dhcp3 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
