Description:
I am using a router (fritzbox 7050) here to get into the internet and connect my computers. My computers are using dhcp to obtain an IP-address from it and the router does the name- resolution. Quite a normal setup I think. With dhcpcd 4.0.4-1 and earlier I could make a "nslookup computername" or see the computername in the interface-section of the router-webinterface. Since 4.0.7-1 I can't do this anymore, because the hostname seems not to be send to the router. The internal name-resolution only works with /etc/hosts anymore I can see no errors whith "dhcpcd -d eth0", the option "-h computername" or "-C resolv.conf" or "-C mtu" don't change anything. Steps to reproduce: - get a router and use it with dhcp - boot your computer - try to ping the computername over the network, watch your router-webinterface, do a nslookup... |

On all 3 networks windows XP systems are accessible by hostname and shown in the router interfaces.
All archlinux systems on these networks have the hostname set in rc.conf.
With my fritzbox 7170 it still doesn't work.
It's web-interface only allows to set the address range for dhcp, and there are no configure options for DNS (can't even disable it ! ).
In the near future i will add a cisco router to my network, and then the fritzbox will only be used as modem.
You don't have to keep this bug open for me.
