RE: [PLUG] How to pass HOSTNAME to LinkSys DHCP server?

[kaze <kaze@voicenet.com>]

Maybe not. I guess I was confusing hostname to IP address resolution with
what was going on with the LinkSys. I wanted to have IpSwitch What's Up Gold
monitor it by name. I guess I'll just give it a static address, but the nice
thing with the LinkSys is it passes Comcast's DNS servers and the end past
of the FQDNs to the dhcp clients...
