Well, be careful: according to the hostname (/bin/hostname)
command, my host is TheloniousMonk. According to the
Internet, my host is blahblahblah.comcast.net. Which
hostname are you looking for?

Likewise for your IP: do you want the IP address that your
local router sees, or your Internet IP? You can get the
local IP by running ifconfig. To get the Internet IP, you'll
need to visit a website such as whatismyip.org.
