Re: DHCP name announcement

I cannot be sure but IMHO

your DNS server on your router is simply only a DNS relay in that it
answers the inside requests for internet addresses, it does not have
any of its own records for machines that are inside. I have not seen a
standard home router work in this fashion although with a modified
firmware from something like DD-WRT I believe this can work
You XP is doing netBIOS broadcasts of its hostname and thus getting
resolved from within the LAN.
I believe you are going to need to look into a name resolution
solution on your network

Hi!
I've checked that the line
#send host-name hekate;
is indeed uncommented. Or does it have to be
send host-name "<hostname>"; ?

Does anybody have an idea how to solve this?
I'd appreciate any help!

Thanks a lot!
Cheers
