Networking Oddness

| I have just configured networking on my RH8.0 and some strange things are
happening, please could somebody offer some assistance. I am new to linux
but have some UNIX experience.
I have a DHCP server Windows Serever 2003, 25+ Windows 2000 boxes and 1
Rh8.0 box.
The RH box picks up a IP address from the server, and can ping all other
machines on the network from the RH box. I can see the RH box on the Server
DHCP table. BUT I cannot ping the RH box by it hostname from anywhere even
the RH box itself but I can ping its ip address. I have obviously configured
the DNS wrong somewhere but where?
Thanks, for any advice you can offer. Mike

Create or modify /etc/dhclient.conf and add this entry
send host-name "rh.abc.com"
