If you really want this, you can (not very, but still) easily install the bind-dns-server on your linux-box with the linux-dhcp-server (preferable) as dynamic-dns-server. i do so with my servers at home, this works very fine and is not that hard... howto for dhcp-server-config: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/s1-dhcp-configuring-server.html howto for bind :http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=80095&highlight=ddns (seems not that bad...) so you will get your ips updated, if you customize also your dhclient-script on your clients (linux-clients only) and tell all your clients where to find your dns-server...

Thanks Roger, but I feel this solution is a little over the top for my home network. Surely there must be a way of doing NETBIOS DNS lookup under Fedora? That's all I really want! :)
