I have just configured SAMBA (it was next on my list) and it is not
resolving the names for me.

I know about setting up the DHCP config files for hard MAC-to-IP addressing,
but I still have seen very consistent addresses on completely dynamic
networks. I think it's probably due to the algorithm used by the DHPC
server to pick the address in the first place, maybe a hash of some kind.
