Yes, but only if the name can be mapped to the IP on the other computers. You should try it, as it might work... At least on other Windows machines. But it might not.

But there's not much point, as anyone who can connect using the computer's name can also get the IP address. It's not like you're securing anything.

You should be able to get the DNS name visible to everyone on your network. Try opening a DOS window and entering 'ipconfig /all'.The 'Host Name' that is returned should be what others can refer to your computer by other than the IP.Good luck!
