Monitoring a laptop

I'll have to give that a try today.  I believe the Hobbit box is configured
to use the Windows DC for DNS.  If it is then that could either be the
problem, or the resolution.  Since the Windows DC would have the last DHCP
address cached in DNS it should provide resolution.

Being a Unix/Linux newbie I need to spend some more time with the MAN pages
and figure out the little quirks.

Can you normally do a lookup for it when it's offline (that 
is, do you use dynamic DNS for these hosts)?
