Read the rest of the posts after that.  You'll see it'd be useless to spoof his MAC address as one of ours.

I'm curious as to why you're willing to go to such lengths just to have your host name show up on a Windows-based router.

In my case, I have a dynamic internal IP address. Having "deadmeat" be accessable to my Windows box which is in the DMZ (I'm well aware of the security risks, but I don't have anything else to put there) and responsible for port forwarding (for httpd, mainly) is much, much easier than running upstairs and setting up the port forward information to send it to a new IP address.

Sidoh, you're just plain wrong...

Give yourself a static IP address?

Definitions of humor on the Web:
wit: a message whose ingenuity or verbal skill or incongruity has the power to evoke laughter
the trait of appreciating (and being able to express) the humorous; "she didn't appreciate my humor"; "you can't survive in the army without a sense of humor"
temper: a characteristic (habitual or relatively temporary) state of feeling; "whether he praised or cursed me depended on his temper at the time"; "he was in a bad humor"
the quality of being funny; "I fail to see the humor in it"
(Middle Ages) one of the four fluids in the body whose balance was believed to determine your emotional and physical state; "the humors are blood and phlegm and yellow and black bile"
liquid body substance: the liquid parts of the body
put into a good mood

Are you saying I'm too stupid to have tried that? Please...

Samba works, partly.  Here's what's up:
Lili - sister's computer, can access just fine
Paradise - can't access from Samba (even though I'm on it); still doesn't show up as named in base station manager
Attic - could access it with old Samba, can't after update
Laptop - can't access at all from Samba

No.  Too "stupid" to have done it successfully, perhaps.
