I don't see if you already answered the question, but are you using the router as your dhcp and dns server right? Windows automatically updates a dns server if set through dhcp with the name (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q228803/) in such a configuration. Look at the manpage of dhclient.conf - especially the DYNAMIC DNS section... that setups the same in Linux. Peter.
