how to you change the name displayed when viewing computers from localhost, and how do you change the name displayed on the dhcp computer list on the router?

I don't understand the question

If you want to set the hostname for your system in RedHat,
you must edit the line HOSTNAME= in /etc/sysconfig/network.
