Possibly, but my firewall ZoneAlarm talks about "DNS" Lookup when you
put computers into the trusted zone.  It can lookup my 2nd pc bunt NOT
the SqueezeBox.  So why does the SqueezeBox not work like other PC's or
Macs.  Note that my brother inlaw has a Belkin router that displays the
name of his laptop.  This implies that the router is operating a local
DNS.  My router does the same thing.  Where software requires hardcoded
DNS server entries, the router DNS is used.  The router knows about my
ISP's DNS settings.
