hi,

I'm really ignorant when it comes to network stuff so heres my question.

I have a friend who lives on our university campus and her apartment is
wired for ethernet. I was interested in piecing together a machine running
2.2.5 and plugging it into her wall. However the school uses DHCP and
issues out funky names for each machine connected. I was wondering if it
was possible to do something such that I can broadcast another name
so my machine would respond to the default name and my customized name.

something like this:
default:	ss-d0015.resnet.ucsc.edu
what I like:	beta.resnet.ucsc.edu

thanks

micahel
