      hi
      so i have some wifi switchs and plugs. and i dedicated in the DHCP Server to give specific names for each one so i know what it is.. but for some it works but others i just get an IP address as a Hostname

      i clear the arp cache i let things expire i unplug things for least 30 min i cant get it to stop over writing it..

      also i even tried Static ARP but still it over writes it with a IP address
      so how i fix that?

          @bob-dig thanks that worked
          deleting the files there in the db... after deleting it changed everything to .localdomain and then after another 10 min it renamed everything to the localhost names

          so i dunno why it was going crazy with the number or so.. but deleting fixed it.. i was going crazy shutting off everything refreshing clearing rebooting pfsense 3 times nothing had solved it
          but deleting thoses files did
