The easiest method is to use mdns, otherwise known as Bonjour on Macs
and probably some other names. Use "hostnamectl set-hostname myname" to
set a unique name on each computer. Make sure "avahi-daemon" is running
(should be). Make sure you have "nss-mdns" installed (should be by
default). Then you should be able to do "ping myname" (using whatever
name you set earlier).
And that the file /etc/nssswitch.conf contains a line similar to:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname
