      So I have Squid working in transparent mode and LightSquid installed but am unable no matter what I try for it to return the computer name in the report.

      Any ideas?

        What option you use?

        IP resolve method:

        
        Select IP to Name resolve method (take effect only on new data):  
        IP  - return IP  
        Demo  - return AUTHNAME, else DNSNAME, else IP  
        DNS  - return DNSNAME  
        Simple  - return AUTHNAME else IP  
        SMB  - return SMB name of pc  
        Squidauth  - return AUTHNAME else IP

          I have honestly tried all of them except Squidauth.

          I did however get this to work by adding each computer with a DHCP Static Mapping and then checking the Register DHCP static mappings in DNS forwarder on the DNS Forwarder box but I do not understand why I have to create a Static Mapping for this to work?

          I would assume that without a DHCP Static Mapping checking Register DHCP leases in DNS forwarder on the DNS Forwarder tab would work but it does not … any ideas?

            Hi everybody!

            We are using LightSquid in pfSense 1.2 RC3.
            We don't know how to use "DNS - return DNSNAME" option.
            We added an Aliases but it didn't work.

            We put our hosts list in the /etc/hosts file, and it worked, but when we restart the computer we lost it.
            Wich option in WebGUI can modify this /etc/hosts file?

            Thanks a lot
            Hamilton

              Check working with 'Demo  - return AUTHNAME, else DNSNAME, else IP  '
              But any changing 'IP resolve method (future)' option take effect for new refreshing.
