Damn I'm stupid today.  I originally looking for linuxconf, but I read that
it was removed.  I'm just playing around with Gnome today and thought there
was an Applet I could use.

My point being that when I used netconfig or during setup in the past I used
a static IP and named the box, but this time I checked DHCP and had no
options.

Currently I am localhost.localdomain.  Now I type 'hostname kcighost' and
'hostname' and now I am kcighost.  Cool. I was in a Windoze haze today.

Now when I 'ping kcighost' from my windows box I don't get any response.  I
can ping the ip though.

Well, you could open up a terminal and type 'hostname' and 'ifconfig' =-]

I don't know how Gnome would accomplish this...
