I am interested in the answer to this one. I solved it by going to fixed
IP addresses for my home computers.

Add the '-X' option to your ssh command line like so:
ssh -X
user@nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

Your answer does not lie in ssh docs. It will be found in DHCP/DNS docs.
ssh will just use the accessible name service. In your case, and mine at
home, ssh can't find the name service for the local computers.
