One last set of linux file sharing questions

[eps22]

Wow, that should make things easy.  Fugu looks like a great program.

Sorry to keep pestering you about sharing (along with Jim), but one 
last set of questions, if you don't mind:

How do I find out, on my Linux box, what:

a) The IP address is that my router assigned to it (on my OS 10.2 box, 
I just go to Sys Prefs and then to Networking for all the information);

b) The computer name?  I don't remember giving the computer a name when 
I installed YDL - all it asked for, I think, was a password for root, 
and then the name and password for my main user account;

c) The password for the computer?  Again, in YDL, I know the password 
for root, and for my main user account, but I don't remember ever 
giving my Linux computer a password the same way that I gave one to my 
OS 10.2 box.

Thanks so much again for any guidance.

Evan
