I have just moved fully to using dnsmasq on my xubuntu 8.10 system,
it's made things much simpler than they were. I have removed all my
manually added entries for static IP hosts on the LAN from /etc/hosts
and I've "un static IP'ed" them - dnsmasq does it all for me.
However I have one issue, I have a couple of things which are not
computers on the LAN, there's an HP printer and a Siemens DECT/VOIP
box. I have set them to use DHCP to get their settings but I don't
know how to find what their names are.
It's easy for a computer on the network, I have set the name when
installing the OS so I know what the name is. But I don't know how to
find the name of a box whose name I'm not able to set myself.
How can I find DNS names of systems which dnsmasq knows about?
