My Macs won't display a hostname in the "computers" list. I get all the other details such as OS version etc.

I get hostnames displayed correctly on my linux machines and also my Windows machines.

I've read that OSX does not implement a standard hostname system. Is there any way to get my hostnames to work for BOINC?

(I've already given the OSX machines names in System Prefs -> Sharing -> Computer name.)

Thanks, I'll give that a go. These computers hardly ever get rebooted so I guess that could be why it hasn't come up!
