Hello, I have a LAN which looks like this:
Internet ---> Cablemodem---> Router with DHCP-service ---> 2 Winboxes, 1 Freebsd box I have 4.6.2. release installed on the FreeBSD box. The router has an DHCP service and IP's are dynamicly assigned to the 3 machines within my LAN. However, when I view the DHCP Active IP Table, I see the following: Gateway IP Address: 192.168.1.1 DHCP Hostname IP Address MAC Address tulin 192.168.1.101 00-80-AD-C9-25-DC alfa 192.168.1.102 00-81-AC-C8-25-DA 192.168.1.104 00-C0-4F-AA-24-0C The machines called "tulin" and "alfa" are the Win98 boxes, the last line corresponds to my FreeBSD box. It is called "delta". My question: why does the name of my FreeBSD box not show up in the DHCP Active IP Table? If I use its IP address, I can access this box without no problem (FTP, Samba, etc.) However, I would like to access it by using its name ("delta"). How to achieve this? Many thanks in advance for your help! Please send your appreciated reply with a Cc. to [EMAIL PROTECTED], as I am not on the freebsd- [EMAIL PROTECTED] list at this moment.
