On some networks, the DHCP provider also provides the name of the
computer, or
hostname. To specify the
hostname, select
Manual and type the complete
name in the box. The complete hostname includes both the name of
the machine and the name of the domain of which it is a member,
such as
machine1.example.com. The
machine name (or "short hostname") is
machine1, and the
domain name is
example.com.

You may give your system any name provided that the full
hostname is unique. The hostname may include letters, numbers
and hyphens.
