Something I've never been able to figure out. When installing a
new machine, and you come to the "Network Configuration" dialog,
what do you put in for the Host: and Domain: if it is a machine
on an internal network (ie., 192.168.1.149)?  Does it matter?
Just give it a simple hostname and be done with it? Make something
up?
