[SWLUG] hopefully easy question: naming machines on a tiny network

[Mark Summerfield]

Thanks to all of you who replied!

Your info has led to me discovering that the Voyager router has a DHCP
configuration which lets me use DHCP in general, but to reserve specific
IP addresses for specific MAC addresses (and now I know more about those
too:) So I will try to do this and then map the IP addresses to names in
/etc/hosts on my Fedora & Ubuntu machines & try to do the equivalent on
Mac OS X. (I only have a Mac for testing cross-platform software---I'm
not a Mac guy!)

Thanks again:-)
