I haven't run DNS+DHCP where Windows was the server, mine's the other way around. Perhaps you should post your /etc/dhclient-*.conf script. A client can send and request various information, much of what's possible is optional. Some of it contrary (e.g. with Windows, I found ticking the register with DNS option caused it to not attempt to do, unticking caused it to do so). -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
