Try adding:
interface "ed0" {
send host-name "yourname";
}
Note: make sure ed0 is your DHCP interface. Substitute your machine name
for "yourname"
This works for me in the office. Disclaimer: My DHCP server requires
clients to send their hostname so that Dynamic DNS can add the machine to
DNS. If your site doesn't work this way, this may not help.

Subject: DCHP and server registration
Hi!
I have some problem I think related with a DNS problem. So
to perform
some tries, I setup one of my machine as a DHCP client. This
machine is
running FREEBSD 4.2-RELEASE.
So I added in my rc.conf:
ifconfig_ed0="DHCP"
Everything looks fine (but sendmail who is waiting for a
long period of
time, I will check that later on) but if I look on my DHCP
server (a
3com LanModem) I cannot see this machine as registred and
others machine
cannot reach it because of a DNS failure.
At a first glance this was not a big problem until I
switched on my very
new printer which has a network adapter and is configured as
a DHCP
client.
At this moment, I had a message on all my FreeBSD machines
on my network
saying :
Jan 5 19:46:38 greatoak /kernel: arp: 192.168.1.5 moved
from 00:00:1c:00:cc:43 to 00:80:77:31:be:32 on ed0
192.168.1.5 is the IP adress of the FreeBSD machine
configured as a DHCP
client.
00:00:1c:00:cc:43 is the MAC of the FreeBSD machine as DHCP
client
00:80:77:31:be:32 is the MAC of the printer
And if I look at my DHCP server, then I see that my Printer
is listed in
the list of workstations.
In fact, it looks like that Windows machine and my printer
are
automatically listed but FreeBSD's are not.
I have search in -questions archive and made a request on
gnats database
with no success.
Thanks.
Phil.
