I am using a Linksys router and software. I would like to have a "Client
Host Name" show up in the "DHCP Active IP Table". Where is the "Host

Fundamentally, DHCP servers don't know anything about Hostnames unless
they assign them. I don't think the Linksys box can do that.
Hostnames known to the operating system are stored in /etc/hosts.
You could set your DHCP server to assign IP addresses keyed to
hardware MAC addresses rather than just in sequence as the requests
arrive. Then you could put the corresponding table of known Hostnames
and IP addresses in /etc/hosts.
