Thanks! that's what i was searching for, now it's easier to get the control panel.
It shows still "unknown" as client name in the router page.

Of course, the router is not looking at any mDNS, it simply rely on previous DHCP request and some router are updating their list using "arp", so after awhile, the "unknown" could even disappear from the list.

EDIT : for DHCP to get hostname, although I've never did it myself, maybe you should try what is describes in this old thread : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=617#p3303
