  Each network interface has its own address. You can see them with
ifconfig.
  You can resolve an ip address into a machine name with dig -x (dig is
in the dnsutils package).

  For example, with a ppp link, ifconfig gives me
ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
          inet addr:82.254.145.48  P-t-P:192.168.254.254
Mask:255.255.255.255

  And the machine name associated with this interface (given by dig -x
82.254.145.48) is lns-vlq-25-ren-82-254-145-48.adsl.proxad.net.
