    Well, if it works for the Win-XP machines, then it's not a problem with
    your DHCP daemon or bind, but just the fact, that the Linux-Clients
    don't send their hostnames.

    I don't know which DHCP client you're using on your Linux machines, so
    no answer for you. FreeBSD dhclient needs something like this in
    /etc/dhclient.conf:

    send host-name "myhostname";

    Check the manpage of your Linux dhclient for commandline options or
    config file syntax.
