I have a LinkSys Wireless Router,
connected to it are:
a desktop Mac (wired) a PowerBook (Wireless), plus a neighbor's desktop PC (Wireless).
The Desktop Mac and the Neighbor's PC shows up with a normal client host name when I go to see who's connected to my router.
But for the PowerBook - I get garbage. Either it's a Apple-looking icon (ok, that's cool but I want to modify it, and it's not always there), but most of the time it's alphanumeric junk.
See the attachment, the 1st entry is the PowerBook.
I don't recall if I did anything special (Webmin?) to set the Desktop Mac's client hostname, and I don't want to install anything special on the PB just to change it.
Anyone know where/how to change it's client hostname?
As you can see in the Network Sharing Prefs - I do have a specific name entered.
Any ideas?
