The documentation explicitely states the contrary: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#how_backuppc_finds_hosts "You only need to use this DHCP feature if your client machine doesn't respond to the NetBios multicast request: nmblookup myHost but does respond to a request directed to its IP address: nmblookup -A W.X.Y.Z" But I'll try as soon as I'm back in the office.
