I do not accept that my WinXP is better than my Debian!

| Hi all,
this is certainly a very active NG I ever see for Debian. Let me expose
my simple issue, ans tell that spent a day googling and HowToing w/o any
positive results.
Problem description:
On a DHCP enabled LAN behind a working SMC7404WBRA I do have a mixture
of PCs with either Win OS or customized Debian (Sarge 2.6.8-15). Windows
PC's are able to find Debian computers by computer's name (i.e ssh with
PuTTy or with ie browser), while Debian machine need the IP address to
find another Debian machine for shh or Mozilla.
On the other hand, I've been able to get my samba & apache server
working w/o any problems so far... This is just because I prefer name to
IP address to easy all my remote session. I have a local DNS issue???? I
do not understand and I do not want to blow everything. And I would like
to keep DHCP.
Looking for assistance for this little issue anticipated thanks,
JL

Are all the Debian boxes running Samba servers? Possibly the Windows
boxes are using Windows name service instead of, or in addition to DNS.

Thanks Bill for your response,
Yes all Debian boxes are running Samba servers. Also true that Windoze
boxes use NBNS (NetBIOS Name Services). I think that I might have a DHCP
issue as I compared the two DHCP sequences (one with XP from scratch and
one with Debian under same conditions, meant Power ON and Boot)
On XP side just for DHCP the first attempt is the Request with Option
12: Host Name = "Already set up with XP". See details hereafter

While with Debian this option 12 is empty, see herafter:

Option 55: Parameter Request List

So within my SMC Barricade DHCP Client Log I never see my Debian's
Machine name...
Any advise?

Hi All,
just made some progress by removing the dhclient package and using
dhclient3 instead. Then I edited my /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and
uncommented the send host-name and changed accordingly the "" content.
My next stage is to be able to ssh any computer in this small domain
I look now deeper in the man pages for this configuration file.
I would like to get Mozilla or ssh able to find computer name rather
than using IP address. This is I guess a local DNS way...
Have a nice day.
JL
