I'm in an Active Directory domain.
I have a windows computer (not joined to the domain). When I connect it to the network, I can ping it by hostname from any other computer on the network.
How can I replicate this behavior on Lubuntu 16.04?
I've tried samba/winbind. I got somewhere with avahi, but that doesn't appear to work across different subnets.
If my unjoined windows computer can do it so effortlessly, then there HAS to be a way with Ubuntu. Please help.

I went back to my dhclient.conf file (
/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
), where I had tried submitting the fqdn already, but I admittedly cut and pasted code I saw from other discussion forums. I had the following,but the
send fqdn.server-update
should have been set toon
.Then, to release your lease with the DHCP server and get a new lease run the following commands:
And now it works!
