@Uncle-Frank my guess as to why he is seeing ih which is invalid host, is the MAC address being sent is the wifi while the Mac registered to the host is wired. This is just a guess.

This host as only wired LAN it’s not a laptop so i think it’s not a MAC address problem

Sure you haven’t changed this client’s “Service settings” meanwhile? ‘#!nh’ to me sounds like hostnamechanger is not enabled for this client in the web interface. But maybe I am wrong.

@Uncle-Frank Absolutely correct.

Ok was my fault… for this host the hostname changer was disabled.
I activate it in service settings but it doesn’t work.
When i try the URL with hostname.php it keeps trying but nothing happens (so it explain the success for servicemodule-active.php and the error for hostname.php in this log)

You mean in a web browser?? Wow… this is… not as it should be I guess!

What do you see in the apache error logs while you try to access this URL from a browser. Depending on your distribution those files might be in /var/log/apache2/ or some similar path on the FOG server.
