Yeah, samba is installed in my LAN.
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.
Check the Fedora-List archive for December 28 and this subject "How to reach a computer by hostname on a LAN?". It pretty much covers DHCP settings for a NIC or wireless interface.
Yes I will. Thank you for the tip.
