Hi all, I need some help with a DHCP client and I'm running into some serious issues. I'll give a brief overview of what I want, what is working, and where I need help. <ol> <li>What I want I would like to have all my DHCP clients to send their hostname. This way I can connect to any client regardless of OS. </li> <li>What is working I have a router/firewall running Fedora Core 2. It runs Bind 9.2.3 and Dhcpd 3.0.1. I have successfully set up my domain of <a href="http://nine.homelinux.com">nine.homelinux.com</a>, and I have dhcpd updated the hosts in that domain using a TSIG key. I can ping my router or any other windows machine from a windows clients. </li> <li>What I need help with. Highest Priority I cannot get my Fedora 4 workstations to work correctly. They send their hostname, and when I view the leases with the webmin interface for dhcp, the hostname shows up. However, I cannot ssh into them or ping them from my windows machines by hostname, only by IP. I have included my /etc/dhclient.conf on the first Fedora 4 box I'm trying to get working. See the lower priority section below for logging from my DHCPd dns section send host-name "marge"; send dhcp-client-identifier 1:0:a0:24:ab:fb:9c; #send dhcp-lease-time 3600; #supersede domain-name "<a href="http://nine.homelinux.com">nine.homelinux.com</a>"; #prepend domain-name-servers <a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a>; request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, domain-name, domain-name-servers; #require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers; #timeout 60; #retry 60; #reboot 10; #select-timeout 5; #initial-interval 2; #script "/etc/dhclient-script"; #media "-link0 -link1 -link2", "link0 link1"; #reject <a href="http://192.33.137.209">192.33.137.209</a>; #alias { # interface "ep0"; # fixed-address <a href="http://192.5.5.213">192.5.5.213</a>; # option subnet-mask <a href="http://255.255.255.255">255.255.255.255</a>; #} #lease { # interface "ep0"; # fixed-address <a href="http://192.33.137.200">192.33.137.200</a>; # medium "link0 link1"; # option host-name "<a href="http://andare.swiftmedia.com">andare.swiftmedia.com</a>"; # option subnet-mask <a href="http://255.255.255.0">255.255.255.0</a>; # option broadcast-address <a href="http://192.33.137.255">192.33.137.255</a>; # option routers <a href="http://192.33.137.250">192.33.137.250</a>; # option domain-name-servers <a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a>; # renew 2 2000/1/12 00:00:01; # rebind 2 2000/1/12 00:00:01; # expire 2 2000/1/12 00:00:01; #} Lower Priority I'm constantly getting these error messages in my DHCP logs.
