next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
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!
Thanks and bye!
