that sounds very helpful. As far as I know it is not important what you
enter here. If you want to access your other PCs you can use the IP or
you add them to your /etc/hosts.
Your hostname also has nothing to do with the netbios-name and
NT-Domain-/Workgroup-Name. Both are entered in /etc/samba/smb.conf (if
you use samba)
