I finally got my network setup, samba configed and sharing files. The only thing thats bugg'n me, is that the dsl pc shows up as "BOX" on my network. This really ain't no biggy, I was just wondering how you could change it.

That depends on install type...
For liveCD, enter at first boot prompt.
For frugal, enter in append section of your grub menu.lst or for lilo in lilo.conf

edited the lilo.conf and ran "lilo". it said "linux" (that's what i want to name this pc)was added. but it still says host: box ip_address on desktop and still shows up as (BOX) in windows.
