[ale] Lan Browser in Konqueror showing machine names not on LAN

[Neal Wilkinson]

I'm running DSL (IFITL). Also since writing the first e-mail message the
host103 has been replaced with host104. I would think it would just
about have to be coming from outside. If it were just the router it
wouldn't have multiple names would it? I know that before I assigned my
machine a host name it would get its name from the router which would be
something similar to the ones below with maybe one less null if I
remember correctly. It would get exactly the same name every time
though, it wouldn't change. It is odd that it seems to be incrementing.
Thanks for your help.

Neal
