Re: Ubuntu linux - Internet settings - host?

Unfortunately, I don't know what the default is and I don't see any
name on my local network or router. I'll have another look at it one

No, I mean you set your host name and the host name you set appears
there. For instance, mine is Dellbuntu so that I know which computer
it is on the LAN.
