Cool cool cool.

Okay, now for the next rub on the lamp.

I'm on DHCP now, both at home and at work. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that I don't like looking up the IP address of the player every time I want to do something on the player.

Right now, the player doesn't identify itself on the network by name. I don't know how it's handled in a Linux system like this, but I can type PING <computername.company.com> where "computername" is the PC's Windows Network Name, and it works. Is there any way to get the player to identify itself by name in this same way, so that I don't have to look up an IP for it? Can it be done in the kernel or would that need to be integrated with the player software?
