Hmm, neither... It is the "hostname" of the Win95 machine.

I found out that my real (internet) IP is no longer 204.108.205.31 - it
was changed somewhat recently and I never memorized the new one.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb has these lines:
# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network
ifconfig eth0 207.38.245.178 broadcast 207.38.245.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
up
route add -net 207.38.245.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
# Check that networking is up.
# [ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0
