I think it's due the the DHCP server using the Wins name and only that name
at the moment.
This list is awesome.... I'm in Montana, not a technology mecca, and it's
great for assistance...

Great example, Bob. As for your issue with Macs and DHCP, well last week I
wrote:

And Bruce graciously offered:

Since you are truly interested, Bruce should be getting back to us in a
little while with the answer.
Is this list great, or what?
Kind regards,

I work for a school district with 23 buildings. We are using one NT DHCP
server and have had no problems with it. Since we have very little tech
support for maintainance, its great for moves and changes. We have roaming
teachers who have laptops, both intel and macs, and they are not computer
folks who would understand how to change the IP configurations. It's great
because where ever they are, the network works.
I also us it for static IP's for printers and servers, it is easy to
administer and once you have the proper settings as Denys specified, it
works.
It would be nice if Mr. Bill would update the server so it would add the
Mac's name to the list of IP's in use or reserved. Maybe it will happen
some time.
We've been using it for 2 years and I'd definatly recommend it. It is easy
and can be done centrally by minimal support staff... bob
