Ah, the easy way! ;^)
Part of this was a learning exercise for me. Windows computers on the
network are reachable by name automatically, even as DHCP clients. So I
wanted to learn a little about what it takes to have "automatic" name
resolution for Linux computers on a Windows network.
The answer appears to be that Linux computers must have a Samba client
going for it to work that way. In this case, I did not care to go that
path and complete my learning process. But, it did teach me something.
