Hostname does not show up in router?
There are two machines:
Ubuntu Desktop (15.04) which connect to
WLAN. GetIPfromdhcp server(router).hostnameshows up in the router properly. This machine usesNetwork Manager.Ubuntu Server (14.04) which connect to
WLAN. Has staticIP.hostnameDOES NOT show up in the router at all. This machine DOES NOT useNetwork Manager.
Both machines have been configured to have DNS server. For Ubuntu Desktop DNS Server is on 127.0.1.1 and for Ubuntu Server is on 127.0.0.1. Both machine have hostname file containing their hostname.
I have read almost all posts related to this issue in askubuntu and some other sites, but still no hostname in the router for Ubuntu Server?
/etc/network/interfaces:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
wpa-scan_ssid 0
address 192.168.1.200
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.0.0.0

The router gets your hostname from the dhcp request. If the interface is set to static it never makes this request.
A way of getting static ip address and use dhcp requests at the same time is to
- set a static ip address for the machine on the router and
- use dhcp for your interface
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-scan_ssid 0
hostname myhostname
It might work in the way you say, but I can not use it , because there is no entry in the router to set a static ip. If I set up Ubuntu server not to have static ip , there is no hostname as well.
– Tjax
Sep 19 '15 at 11:40
I just check it just a few moment ago, it looks like , when it sets on DHCP, the hostname shows up. I accept your answer though I can not use it. Is there any other way to make that request in another way?

The router gets your hostname from the dhcp request. If the interface is set to static it never makes this request.
A way of getting static ip address and use dhcp requests at the same time is to
- set a static ip address for the machine on the router and
- use dhcp for your interface
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-scan_ssid 0
hostname myhostname
It might work in the way you say, but I can not use it , because there is no entry in the router to set a static ip. If I set up Ubuntu server not to have static ip , there is no hostname as well.
