Actually, they are looking for the hostname to be static, and to
use that as an authorized username for the firewall.

On the PC side, they appear to be using the "Computer Name" under
the "Identification" tab in the Network control panel.

This sounds similar to the "Network Identity" section of the File
Sharing control panel on the Mac -- but I don't know why they are
unable to use this information, unless it is *not* passed over
TCP/IP. Is this available over AppleTalk only? I'm running OS
8.5.1, Open Transport 2.0.2 and TCP/IP 2.0.2.
