Hi All

I am new to some networking parts so have what is
hopefully a straight forward question:

I am using DHCPCD to assign an IP address but would like
to also set this assigned address to equal my server name.
Can this be done?
In past I have used static address and asigned it in
/etc/networks.

eg. eth0 gets assigned 192.168.0.2
    Server is called blah so would like to assign same address
	to it so ping blah yields time to receive from 192.168.0.2??


Probably haven't asked this question correctly so please tell
me if more info required?
Craig
