[Jason Scherbarth] I've had a similar quandry in my test lab
here. I've got an NT server that works as a DHCP/WINS/DNS server and
would like to have my RH5.0 clients lease an address via DHCP and
register with the WINS server. Unfortunately nmbd refuses to start
because it cannot get it's hostname, thereby not being able to register
it's hostname with the name server. Basically it's a chicken and egg
problem, I cannot register with the name server because I can't resolve
my name from the name server. Another thing I have noticed is that my
RH5.0 clients do not tell the DHCP server what their name is, unlike
Win95 clients which give the DCHP server their NetBIOS name. Makes it
easy to see which client has which lease from the server...
Eagerly awaiting a solution, (wishing I could code...)
