Hello

I am using DHCP.  When I configure my NIC under FreeBSD, it 
uses the name that Win2K arbitrarily gives my box when I set it 
up, which I don't normally alter because I don't need to.  Do I 
have to use name (frustratingly inclusive of a string of random 
letters and numbers)?  

tia

Joshua
