You could be also interested by another contrib (smeserver-dhcp-dns). This contribution for SME Server adds the abilities to parse the dhcpd.leases file and feed the data (the name of the computer) into tinydns (the dns server). smeserver-dhcp-dns It gives a real dns name to computers on your network instead of the dummy name pc-00001.mycompany.local after that on your network you can ping, ssh a remote host by its name
