  | How do I configure NetBSD to tell its name to the router?

It isn't 100% clear what you need to do, but if you just need the
host name option included in the dhcp request, then create a file

	/etc/dhclient.conf

and in it put

	send host-name "my.host.name";

(just the one line should be enough).

There's no guarantee though that doing this will get the name to somewhere
where your windows systems can find it by their name lookup mechanism I'd
actually have thought it rather unlikely).
