    how to find specific hostnames on lan?

    I want to change the hostname for a new server here at work, but I don't know what the other computers are named. Is there some way for me to see if another computer named linux1 already exists on the network?

    Without DNS or WINS or some kind of name resolution system, it's sort of impossible to know.
