I have a WRT54G with Linksys firmware (v4.20.7). It's set up as a DHCP server, and when I ask it to show me the DHCP client table, all of my computers' names are there. However, the computer names don't show up in DNS: 'slate' is listed in the DHCP client table, but 'ping slate' doesn't work.
I thought I had seen web pages that said that the Linksys firmware could connect DHCP and DNS so that 'ping slate' would work, but I can't find anything now. I do find lots of pages about OpenWRT and dnsmasq... Have I been misremembering things? Is dnsmasq the way to go?
