Hi Michael,

Does it work, if you edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and set
send host-name "<yourhostname>";

Yup, I think so. I'm using dnsmasq as DNS/DHCP for my lan; my main box uses send host-name and after getting an IP from dnsmasq, dnsmasq's DNS server can resolve that hostname/IP. It is quite handy.

What exactly are you asking for: Should nm by default send the host-name or are
you asking for a GUI to edit that setting?

Well, I'm not 100% sure that it being the default is a good idea- in my setup, yes it is. I don't know enough to know if that's harmful in some environments.

If it's a harmless thing to do, I would say yes to always sending the host name.

Kind regards,

Alex
