So, in theory we may have the empeg request a hostname from ant DHCP sever that supports hostname assignment, right?

Some discussion with Drakino today revealed that the empeg actually already does this. I assumed it didn't because it doesn't work on my network. The truth is that my network only assigns names to windows boxes and ignores the name assignment request from the car player.

The only other thing the car player could do is attempt to do all of that nasty Windows handshaking. Probably not going to happen, as it would be pretty silly.

Then again, maybe it wouldn't be silly if the empeg guys thought it might be important for future networked products. Who knows?
