[mythtv-users] Local Host

[myth joe]

I see two options.  First, as noted above, you can follow the
documentation for changing the hostname.  Second, you can have Windows
use IP addresses to get to samba shares.  I do the latter.  The key is
to use backslashes.  E.g., if your Linux machine running samba is at
192.168.1.99, then the shares are at \\192.168.1.99.
