Network identification

[SonicYouthXY]

Briefly, I have DSL with a Dynamic IP via an ATM/DSL Router.

I also use DNS2GO client to have a nameserver for whatever my IP address is.

I was wondering if anyone knew if i can enter that information into WINDOWS Network identifcation... ie. join that domain.

So that as soon as my PC is booted up and running, it has a name on the internet, i.e., my-friggen-pc.com instead of just an IP.

Or I guess I should ask what the "Network Name" tab is (under "System Properties")

sONIC.

That is the NetBIOS name of the computer. It is the name displayed in My Network Places whenb browsing a workgroup

aaahhh... ok...

and since i disabled NetBIOS and don't have a local network, it's pretty much useless....

so how do i identify my PC on the net?

i guess i have to shell out $$ for a static IP and ask my ISP if they can set up a nameserver for me... fat chance of that hapening...

guess i'll stick with DNS2Go for now...

thanks.
