Do the other machines (I'm assuming they're Windows or MacOS here) send
hostnames with their DHCP requests? I know I'm being a little vague
here... basicially, with DHCP you can optionally send a string to identify
yourself to the DHCP server - this can act either as a silly form of
authentication, or to "reserve" an IP in the list so that you always get
the same IP address. If this is required by your router, then you won't
be able to DHCP with your Newton, because NIE 2.0 doesn't support sending
this hostname/username/whatever.
