I've tried that, and it doesn't seem to work. I've tried
DHCP_HOSTNAME=myhost
and
DHCP_HOSTNAME=myhost.mydomain
and
DHCP_HOSTNAME="myhost.mydomain"
Our IT department is a "Windows only" department. I'm wondering if
the DNS server picks up the (Windows) PC hostnames from an SMB
advertisement of some sort.
Is there some way to just advertise my hostname, or do I have to
actually export some filesystem via Samba?
