[TriLUG] dhcp issues

[Chris Bullock]

I believe what you are looking for is dynamic DNS.  Windows uses its own
protocol to talk to each other, meaning you dont even need a DNS server
for a windows doamin to be able to talk to each other.  We attempted to
get dynamic DNS working at our office with no luck.  However, we establish
DHCP reservation and then put that IP and hostname in DNS.  Resolves both
ways now.
