[PLUG] DNS, DHCP, SAMBA & Windows

["W. Chris Shank" <shankwc999@yahoo.com>]

Hello all,

I'm setting up a small intranet LAN with a Linux box running SAMBA as the 
primary server around several windows 98 boxes. I'm using DNS to assign IP 
addresses and I'd like the machines to be able to refer to each other by name 
(machine.mydomain.com) . I'm having difficulty understanding how to do this. 
I assume I need to setup a DNS server on my lan (which will also be connected 
to the internet via a seperate firewall device), but how do i get the DNS to 
update IP/name pairs in conjunction with DHCP? What do I need to do on the 
windows machines besides? Wins? or just configure DNS and point it to my 
internal DNS box? I've been perusing how-to's, bit i'm a little dense and 
need something in simple language.

thanks

-Chris
