Hello all.
I've looked at the forums and I've found tons of threads talking about hostname not known in the network. as you know ubuntu dhcp3-client does not sends the hostname to the dhcp server by default and one must edit the conf file and put the hostname in it.
Apart from being not user friendly it's also very limited solution as the host name must be constantly in the dhcp3 configuration file.
I wanted to suggest the use of dhcpcd wich does all that for free.
