if you add the raw IP and host name to /etc/resolv.conf (or on windows c:\windows\system32\etc\hosts) you can then access via names

Subject: [Wlug] Accessing Host Names
I am trying to access the use SSH using host names instead of using the
raw IP address. I am currently using DCHP to connect to an inexpensive
Linksys router and I can see the host names and their IP address when I
view the connections list.
If the machine name (ie CLYDE) is not the host name, please correct me.
Is there some way to extract this information? If so, how?
Do I need to run bind to be able to use the host names in place of IP
addresses?
Any help would be appreciated.
