Setting up a network requires a basic knowledge of how dns
systems work.

"Marc's Computer" is not a valid name.

What you should be doing is adding an ip address/validname for each
computer on the lan.

For example, I have ...
192.168.10.1 router r
192.168.10.20 xppro.hodgins.homeip.net xppro
192.168.10.30 knoppix.hodgins.homeip.net xppro

In my case, xppro and knoppix are virtualbox installs,
using static ip addresses, router is my router.
