Hi, on this computer the /cdrom/boot/grub/menu.lst has
a line as below:

kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda2 fromhd=/dev/hda2
quiet vga=normal noacpi noapm nopmcia dma frugal
write desktop=jwm host=fourth restore=hdb2

This computer and another one are cabled to a Linksys
WRT54GL router.

When the other computer is running Windows 98SE and this
one is running DSL 3.3, I use a browser on the other
computer and look at a page called
"DHCP Active IP Table"

It says the Client Host Name for _this_ computer
(running DSL) is "box" , at 192.168.1.102

Why is that? One would think it'd be called "fourth".

Try hostname=fourth instead.
