Hi Guys, I have got a serious mental block in understanding how to make this work. I have DHCP Server serving an adress pool of 192.168.100.128 - 254. The server is working. But it doesn't give the PCs connecting a hostname. This is very irritating when doing an NFS installation. Do I use the dhcp-client config or must I set up a DNS or NIS, U C I haven't a clue what to do. I thought that a dns server would be outrageous because the network is not on the internet it is basically less than computers. help please -- ****************************************************************** Chadley Wilson Soon 2 B RHCE Linux Rocks Welcome to my world.
