How to get Linux host name written in Windows DHCP and DNS?

[Arch Willingham]

This is sort of a duplicate to what I sent a second ago (our posts are passing each other). I did that and then rebooted. If I print out /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, it looks like it takes it:
# Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Base-T
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:08:74:B9:03:5A
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
ONBOOT=yes
DHCP_HOSTNAME=execlinux
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=yes

If I try to ping it, look what happens:
[root at tup ~]# ping execlinux

On the Devices tab, select your network device (you likely only have
one, which is already selected), then click on the Edit button on the
toolbar. In the window that opens, you will see a text field labelled
"Hostname (optional)". Put your desired hostname there.
