OK, I'm stuck. I have an environment in which the DHCP and DNS servers are hosted by a Windows PC somewhere in a closet. (They may even be the same PC.) I have an FC6 DHCP client for whom I want to publish a hostname. Up to now, all of our FC6 boxes have gotten their IP info from the DHCP server and nobody ever cared what IP address was assigned to what machine. Now I want to run a service on one of these clients, so I want its hostname to show up in DNS. However IT has our DHCP/DNS server(s) set up, I can ping windows machines from windows machines by hostname. I can ping windows machines from Linux machines, again by hostname. I just can't figure out what knob to twist to tell my Linux machines to tell the DHCP/DNS server about it's hostname so that I can ping it from other machines. Any suggestions on where to look? --wpd
