Put this line somewhere in the beginning of /etc/dhcpd.conf: use-host-decl-names on; Then you make one section for each host in your network like this: host YourFavouriteHostname { hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx; ### in cas you need this: # fixed-address 10.0.0.2; } Then the host with the specified mac address will be configured with hostname "YourFavouriteHostname". > > Bert. > Felix __\|/__ ___ ___ ___ __Tschüß_______\_6 6_/___/__ \___/__ \___/___\___You can do anything,___ _____Felix_______\Ä/\ \_____\ \_____\ \______U___just not everything____ [EMAIL PROTECTED] >o<__/ \___/ \___/ at the same time!
