Hi Joel, I also run a couple of Debian boxes on a Windows network, and I modified /etc/init.d/dhcpc so that the line: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON -- $IFACE now reads: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON -- -h `cat /etc/hostname` $IFACE (all on one line). This allowed the system to properly associate my chosen hostnames with my new IP numbers.
