This is on a private LAN where I handle all the hardware, so I do let the clients tell the DHCP server what name to use. The clients have a hostname set.

I'll say it again, post your DHCP configuration files (server and client). -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, 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.
