  I can't seem to get remote machines to recognize my name address, they
only seem to get my IP address.  When I telnet to other machines from the
machines at school, the remote system recognizes them as 'umbc10.umbc.edu'
or whatever, when I connect to remote systems it recognizes me as
205.177.8.202, nslookup on 205.177.8.202 returns my name machines name
address and nslookup on my machine returns the correct IP address, what
needs to be done to have remote machines deal with my incoming connection
as duvall-ppp.atlatl.com instead of 205.177.8.202?
