I am using Linux as a LAN based server. We use Microsoft Win2K DHCP and DNS, both are on the same machine. I am not using URLs in the system. I have not installed bind. There are a number of fixed IP addresses that DNS knows about and these I can query with a "host" command from Linux. I cannot see any DHCP assigned IP addresses with the "host name" command in Linux. I can do the reverse, however, -- I can put in the IP address of a DHCP assigned node and Linux can tell me the name of the host. My problem is that I want to samba mount a shared directory on one of the DHCP mounted systems, but samba mount can't see it. I can samba mount shares on the fixed IP addresses OK by name. Do I need to have bind installed to see DHCP names?
