I need some help with a DHCP client and I'm running into some serious issues. I'll give a brief overview of what I want, what is working, and where I need help.
- What I want
I would like to have all my DHCP clients to send their hostname. This way I can connect to any client regardless of OS.
- What is working
I have a router/firewall running Fedora Core 2. It runs Bind 9.2.3 and Dhcpd 3.0.1. I have successfully set up my domain of nine.homelinux.com, and I have dhcpd updated the hosts in that domain using a TSIG key. I can ping my router or any other windows machine from a windows clients.
- What I need help with.
Highest Priority
I cannot get my Fedora 4 workstations to work correctly. They send their hostname, and when I view the leases with the webmin interface for dhcp, the hostname shows up. However, I cannot ssh into them or ping them from my windows machines by hostname, only by IP. I have included my /etc/dhclient.conf on the first Fedora 4 box I'm trying to get working. See the lower priority section below for logging from my DHCPd dns section
send host-name "marge";
send dhcp-client-identifier 1:0:a0:24:ab:fb:9c;

Lower Priority
I'm constantly getting these error messages in my DHCP logs. Does anyone have any idea what this means?
