My router assigns an address OK, but when I look at the router's DCHP client table, it shows the address of the Linux box, but not it's name.
Windows clients on my network -do- show the name in the router's DHCP client table.
So I must be missing something in the Linux config.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: DHCP
Since my Windows clients do pass their name on to the router, I figured it was a DHCP client-side setting someplace.

Re: DHCP
This functionality is thankfully not available in Linux. If you are getting an IP address, DHCP is set up correctly.
ifconfig
Will display a matching address to the router table.
In this setup, the only way to get a hostname on that router table is to set up the router to hand out names at the same time as it hands out addresses. I'm not sure whether that router can do that.
That router does DNS as a default, forwarding information from your ISP.
I think in this case its situation normal, just not quite what you expected.
I would check that the hostname is set correct, though I don't believe it will help. I would do a dig and nslookup and make sure /etc/ressolv.conf is working(if you can browse you are okay). I don't think any of these steps will actually update that router table, but I've been wrong before.

Re: DHCP
Windows has the irritating ability to send out names here and there. You could probably get the DHCP client on Linux to do the same thing with prompting.. I vaguely remember reading about it... gimmie a tick.
...
...
If you are using 'pump' for your dhcp client, it has a flag '--win-client-id' of which is listed in the help file as "Windows-like client identifier".
If you are using 'dhcpcd', uses the '-I' flag to specify a "Client ID".
To get these to work, you may need to modify the network startup routines. As you've not mentioned what distribution you are using, we can't give you too much help at this point.
Good luck! Let us know how you get on!

Re: DHCP
in order to fix this, you need add
DHCP_HOSTNAME=your_hostname
to /etc/sysconfig/network
2) and if you want to update WINS from linux box, you can do this using Samba
