I am setting up DHCP on an Xserve and have noticed that in the list of DHCP clients, the computer name is 'unavailable' when the client is a Mac running OS X but Windows clients all seem to have names. Can someone tell me what is going on? TIA.
 
Although no one replied I'll close this out as I found the problem. Although both Windows and OS X are perfectly happy with computer names that contain special characters and spaces, Panther server DHCP is not. DHCP only reports computer names that have no spaces or special characters.
