Hi,
[...]
I can configure a Windows XP desktop to get network configuration from the DHCP server OK, but 1) where does an XP desktops' hostname appear? 2) how can I handle it from the DHCP server (that is, *if* it's possible)?
To my knowledge this is not possible for Windows clients (at least XP and seven). Not even for some dummy network printers that simply ignore any hostname offers from (ISC) DHCP server.
I was wandering too if this is possible, maybe somebody succedeed...
