All the machines identify themselves by name (Wallstreet, eMachine, Dragon) except the Amiga. Does anybody know how to make a networked Amiga identfy itself on the network by name? I don't see an option in Miami for that, and I'm not aware of an option in the OS to name the machine.


For the AMiGA side:
Miami:Database->Hosts/Hostaliases
You can name each machine with any name you like :-)

On the PeeCee side, there is a hosts  file somewhere (I don't remember now), where you can declare the individual IPs and their respective aliases.

That is a "local" alias (it is not declared to the others), which means a machine can call the others on the network with an abbreviation/name instead of an IP number.
