I don't see if you already answered the question, but are you using the router 
as your dhcp and dns server right? 
Windows automatically updates a dns server if set through dhcp with the name 
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q228803/) in such a configuration. Look at 
the manpage of dhclient.conf - especially the DYNAMIC DNS section... that 
setups the same in Linux.
