how to see other computers on my network

[flann]

I have Centos 5.3 on 3 computers within my network. I'm trying to set up synergy and getting an error that it can't find the host server when I try to start up one of the clients. When I type the command $ hostname I get the result of milwaukee.localdomain which is the synergy server. Is there something that I'm missing?

Every computer on LAN has an IP address. You can access them by IP address.
If you want to access them by name then you have to resolve names to addresses. This is what DNS does. Simplest method is to put known computers into /etc/hosts file.

man hosts

Example from hosts man page:

       127.0.0.1       localhost
       192.168.1.10    foo.mydomain.org       foo
       192.168.1.13    bar.mydomain.org       bar
       146.82.138.7    master.debian.org      master
