I am connecting via samba to a printer on another windows machine on the network. Do I need to specify the host ip??? What if the computer's IP is changed on the next lease of IP?? in fact, I can't ping using other computer's hostname unless I specifying them in /etc/hosts with their ip...what if their IP changes??? can't DHCPd update on itself??
