While not the best fit for everyone, recently I've been using
avahi/mdns/zeroconf/bonjour for name resolution for all computers in my
home network.

Windows, Mac OS X, Linux all happily figuring out hostnames by
themselves. That combined with DHCP and some upnp on the router (again,
not for everyone, but good for me), I hardly have to spend anytime
setting up networking stuff at home anymore (and I'm somebody who used
to have a server acting as gateway/proxy/firewall/dns/caching dns/smtp
gateway).
