No need to do this unless the DHCP server registers names on behalf 
of the clients, which doesn't seem to be the case here. Even still, 
you could tell the DHCP server not to do that.

That's the key. Open the properties for the Local Area Connection or 
whatever your NIC interface is called. Go to TCP/IP Properties, click 
Advanced, and click the DNS tab. Be sure "Register this connection's 
address in DNS" is not checked. It's checked by default on MS 
operating systems that can do this.
