Hi Shawn,
Thanks ;-) but not very helpfull..
> dhclient.leases did not change (no nost-name in the file).
This means that the problem, probably, is not that your DHCP client is not
sending
your host name as you DNS guy said.
I saw that you have two DNS servers: domain-name-servers and
netbios-name-servers...
Can you try to ping your host 'name' but from host that have only the
domain-name-servers
not both of them. You can enter them manually.
Is your network M$ Active Directory Services enabled?
> The DNS lookup still shows an invalid name.
From which DNS server (the server IP) from netbios-ones or others?
If everithing with the 'standart' DNS-DHCP server is OK you must be able
to ping your host name from non Windows host. (You said something about
Linux host - what DNS servers it is using.
If you cannot ping your host name from M$ Windows hosts, you may need
to add static entry as Adam said into M$ DNS Server pointing
to your IP static adress. As far as I know M$ DNS servers are not
exectly 'UNIX' compatible because of ADS 'extensions' or whatever they say.

I have, but the important part is 'send host-name', the other staff is for
DNS server, default router ... blah blah it is not what you need.
In the worst case, you may need to create static IP and DNS entry for your
host.
Anyway, send to the list what is the result ...
