Simplify the network

[tormedhammaren]

So your saying like: Every time you boot your LAN
up, all the machines have a new hostname.. What about the IP?

Turn off the DHCP-mode in the router (and set
your machines up manually) if you can do that
or make a perl/Arexx script to configure the
MiamiDx host database automatically. A fine
chanse to learn some scripting. :-D If only your
hostnames are dynamic, it should be possible to
retrive hostname using smbclient .

I wrote that you get machine X's hostname by typing smbclient -L , you get X's netbios
name offcourse. Actually the whole networks netbios names and the shares of machine X. Sorry.. But the netbios name is what you need for using samba!
