Title: Hostname of clinets PC [solved]
Post by: xseman on September 17, 2017, 04:12:01 pm
Hello friends,

is is possible to output hostnames of connected PCs in LAN to terminal?
if i use 'arp -a' instead of hostname of client i get '?'.

Thanks!

the DHCP server may know it as it is a field that is sent with the DHCP request.

Do the IP addresses otherwise resolve to hostnames? You may be missing reverse DNS zones.

Thank you!

 enabling DHCP Registration under Dnsmasq DNS: Settings works :)
