DHCP server option 15 (domain-name) and Windows client

[Shadok]

Hi,

I have an issue with Zeroshell (2.0 RC3) DHCP server and Windows clients.
In my dhcp.conf, i have the option 15 defined as is for my subnet :
option domain-name “localdomain.com”;

Problem is, my dhcp windows client don’t get this option as the field “DNS suffix for this connexion”, under the DNS tab in the TCP/IP v4 advanced properties of my ethernet card isn’t filled.

This cause the resolution of the fqdn to work but not of the hostname.
Eg : srv4.localdomain.com works but not srv4.

Any idea ?

Regards.

Maybe I misunderstood your problem , but I simply filled with my domain-name the text-box “Subnet Options>> Domain Name” in the dhcp config page , and I can access resources via hostname , as well as with FQDN from win7 clients

You got it right.
I set it up too.
But on Windows 8 it didn’t work out of the box, I don’t really know why.
