[Bug 115426] Re: Computer name is not recognized by DHCP of FRITZ!Box

[Stéphane Graber]

I can confirm that Ubuntu sets the host-name field properly on DHCP query and conforms to the RFC.
If the server doesn't parse that properly and updates the DNS accordingly, it's a failure of the server not the client.

Title:
  Computer name is not recognized by DHCP of FRITZ!Box

Status in “isc-dhcp” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have a FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7170, Firmware-Version 29.04.29 DSL router
  at home.

  Computer name is not registered when booting Ubuntu (up-to-date 7.04).
  It works correctly on Windows.

  Looks like DHCP server on FRITZ!Box doesn't receive correct hostname.
  It doesn't matter if I use cable or WLAN.
