This is good to know. Maybe I could get my Linksys router to show names instead of MAC addresses.

It's quite useful, really. Most routers will propagate those names as part of their dDNS. No more remembering IPs! You can just "ping dans-quicksilver" etc.

FWIW, here's the table from our Actiontec router:

The "static" entries are ones I created manually, keyed by MAC. The "dynamic" ones are visitors on our network, .100 and higher.
