Using @home's dhcp server.

This is a discussion about Using @home's dhcp server. in the Windows Networking category; I'm trying to use @home's dhcp server but they require me to have a certain host name to use their dhcp server. I have a w2k server box with 2 nics. Is there any way I can have the one connected to my cable modem use a different host name than the name of the computer?.

Whats the point of using their DHCP server? Just so they can change your IP with the lease is up? Use the Static IP that they gave you, that way you have more stability in running server apps (which they dont lke you doing, I know from first hand).
