I had thought so to until someone told me that
dhcp didn't provide hostnames.
Here it is:
lease {
interface "eth0";
fixed-address 24.117.45.226;
option subnet-mask 255.255.252.0;
option time-offset 0;
option routers 24.117.44.1;
option dhcp-lease-time 1209600;
option dhcp-message-type 5;
option domain-name-servers 24.116.209.232,24.116.0.202,24.116.212.232;
option dhcp-server-identifier 24.117.44.1;
option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255;
option host-name "stmike";
renew 5 2005/4/22 01:09:45;
rebind 4 2005/4/28 11:02:46;
expire 6 2005/4/30 05:02:46;
}
Is this telling me that the client told the server that
the client's name is stmike, that the server told the
client that the client's name is stmike, or something else?
