johnmsch Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 When I look at the table of devices attached to my router, there is a name associated with every IP address except the ISY-99i. I don't see any way in the configuration to set a name for this device. Of course, this isn't a big deal, but I'd like to give it a name.
Michel Kohanim Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Hello johnmsch, That's quite odd. You should see: ISY99-HOME-AUTO Can you tell me what's your ISY's firmware version? With kind regards, Michel
Mark Sanctuary Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 I was wondering about this too. On both 2.7.15 and 2.8.3 I have not seen the hostname show up on my linksys router nor on the new setup I just did for a friend on his Dlink router. Thanks,
Brian H Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 I have a D-Link DI-604. FW 2.8.2 My router table says ISY99-HOME-AUTO. If I power cycled the router it then said unknown. If I did a power cycle of the ISY99i, Router, Computer and DSL Interface. It again said ISY99-HOME-AUTO.
Mark Sanctuary Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 So if the router causes the connection to be reestablished it does not request the hostname, but when the ISY reestablishes the connection then it does. I have to say other devices on the network sometimes show hostnames and sometimes do not for my setup. Like right now I have 8 things connected to my router and none of them show a hostname except for my iPhone. Thanks,
Michel Kohanim Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Hi Brian, DHCP Offer-name is only sent in the following conditions: 1. ISY is rebooted and it's trying to get a new lease 2. ISY is trying to renew the lease In the case where ISY has a lease and the router is rebooted, and if ISY does not know that the router has been rebooted, then it will not try to renew/rebind and thus the unknown. With kind regards, Michel
