My response to your kind response was terrible.  Let me try again.

Router: Linksys Wireless Router BEFW11S4

	Connects to Motorola Cable Modem.
	Receives dynamic IP from ISP
	Provides DHCP fire wall services to computers connected to it.

Cmptr1 is a workstation/server running Ubuntu, Breezy. Connects to
Router by cable

Cmptr2 is a laptop running Ubuntu, Breezy. Connects to Router by cable
usually, but sometimes by wireless.  (If I assign fixed IPs to all
computers, would I have to sign one to eth0 and one to the wireless
card?)

Two Window XP Laptops that are here working on stuff periodically.

While working on Cmptr2 and/or one of the XP machines, I want to be able
to connect to Cmptr1 by writing:

$ ssh Cmptr1

no matter what kind of connection, wireless or NIC card, instead of
having to use:

$ ssh <Cmptr1's IP of the Day>

Is this any better?

Thanks,

Bobby
