   not trolling at all.

   whatever the dhcp device name is the dns name to use.   
      
   for example:   
      
      
   use hp-pc and/or hp-pc.local. to connect.   
      
   change the name to whatever you want:   
      
      
   sometimes the device name can be set on the device itself.
