On one of your pCP machines you can experiment ...
ps -ef | grep udhcpc should show something like /sbin/udhcpc -b -i eth0 -x hostname:guestroom -p /var/run/udhcpc.eth0.pid If it shows picoreplayer rather than your chosen hostname then there will be a problem if you have more than one requesting the same name. (this applies for any chosen hostname of course) If you are using WiFi then the output would indicate a different network interface. You could then kill that process and try to run udhcpc by hand to experiment e.g. /sbin/udhcpc -v -f -i eth0 -x hostname:guestroom -p /var/run/udhcpc.eth0.pid the -v = verbose logging -f = run in foreground so you can see what it is doing -x hostname:blahblahblah = requesting DHCP option 12 ... which allows the client to request the DHCP server to take that hostname and put it in the local DNS -i = the network interface -p = a pid file to store the process id Paul Webster http://dabdig.blogspot.com author of \"now playing\" plugins covering radio france (fip etc), kcrw, supla finland, abc australia, cbc/radio-canada and rte ireland ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109270 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
