I don't know which DHCP client you're using on your Linux machines, so no answer for you. FreeBSD dhclient needs something like this in /etc/dhclient.conf: send host-name "myhostname"; Check the manpage of your Linux dhclient for commandline options or config file syntax. - Oliver -- | Oliver Brandmueller | Offenbacher Str. 1 | Germany D-14197 Berlin | | Fon +49-172-3130856 | Fax +49-172-3145027 | WWW: http://the.addict.de/ | | Ich bin das Internet.
