i think that the udhcpc command in network.sh does not send hostname in the lease request, so it's not possible to ping a slitaz machine by name but only by ip address (at least in my network where server runs dnsmasq).
the fix would be to add the correct option to the udhcpc command:
[c]--- /etc/init.d/network.sh
+++ /home/fabio/network.sh
@@ -152,7 +152,8 @@
wpa
else # fallback on udhcpc: wep, eth
/sbin/udhcpc -b -T 1 -A 12 -i $INTERFACE -p \
- /var/run/udhcpc.$INTERFACE.pid
+ /var/run/udhcpc.$INTERFACE.pid \
+ -x hostname:"$(hostname)"

}[/c]
it wouldn't work in 4.0, it would be -h $(hostname)
ping results and arp table in my server, first and after the mod, being slitvaio already modded:

i don't think that this could break something and it's useful in a simple slitaz pc network.
could it be pushed?
thanks

tested with 4.0 in a live cd, it works too.
busybox 1.20.2 dropped the -H -h --hostname option, but -x OPT:VAL is present from 1.17 , so the patch works in stable too.

how loud should i shout? :-)

ernia,
You have a lot of ideas, bugfixes and improvements.
You should get write access to Hg. Ask main developers in the mailing list, or in private msg.
Learn base using of Hg.
Improve Hg stuff directly.
And not shout more

i would be glad to contribute, even if i'm not a dev but only a slitaz enthusiast.
devs better makes me an account if they don't want me shout anymore :-)
i'll start to study how hg works and when i'll feel ready i'll ask for an account.
if allowed i'll contribute as i can.
thank you for your kind answer.

really good idea to give ernia access to Hg
and if somebody changes something in network.sh - I have a whish
I need for my next SliTaz-OLA release that it boots to a fix IP, if there is no dhcp lease. I think, that could be also included in SliTaz 5.0
It should work quite easy, because when you set both "DHCP" and "STATIC" = "yes" in netwok.conf - it gets first a dhcp adress, but this is overwritten later on by the static IP.
so the only thing is to change something in network.sh
# For a static IP.
static_ip() {
if [ "STATIC"="yes" ] ; then
now it must just ask, if ifconfig has already a value - if yes finished, if no continue
I think we can use grep -c for that, which return 1 if an adress is
found or 0 if not. Like:
ifconfig $interface | grep -c "inet addr"

:-)
i don't think i'm ready to push directly, better post here and let my patch be examined by devs ;-)
