Hello, 

I have a LAN which looks like this:

Internet ---> Cablemodem---> Router with DHCP-service ---> 2 Winboxes, 1 Freebsd box
I have 4.6.2. release installed on the FreeBSD box. 

The router has an DHCP service and IP's are dynamicly assigned to the 3 machines 
within my LAN. 
However, when I view the DHCP Active IP Table, I see the following:
  
 Gateway IP Address: 192.168.1.1 
 DHCP Hostname IP Address MAC Address 
 tulin 192.168.1.101 00-80-AD-C9-25-DC 
 alfa  192.168.1.102 00-81-AC-C8-25-DA
        192.168.1.104 00-C0-4F-AA-24-0C

The machines called "tulin" and "alfa" are the Win98 boxes, the last line corresponds 
to my FreeBSD
box. It is called "delta". My question: why does the name of my FreeBSD box not show 
up in the  
DHCP Active IP Table? 

If I use its IP address, I can access this box without no problem (FTP, Samba, etc.) 
However, I 
would like to access it by using its name ("delta"). How to achieve this?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks and bye!
