Since one week has passed and I guess my question is hidden by other
messages, I post this again to seek your help.

I am using SSH to connect a machine with fixed IP, say, 133.144.155.66,
133.144.155.67, 133.144.155.68, ...

When I fork more child windows in SSH, I can only see 133.144.... As you
will discover, all the 3 machines start with 133.144 and there is no
resolution at all. I would like to assign each machine a specific name so I
can quickly identify which
window I should focus on.

Thanks a lot

Forking off child windows in SSH ... this does not sound as if you
are using a Solaris desktop environment. But you have posted your
question to comp.unix.solaris, a group dedicated to the Solaris
operating system.

Under Solaris, you would have no problem of getting three windows
with different headings:

for ip in 133.144.155.66 133.144.155.67 133.144.155.68
do
xterm -T "ssh $ip" -e /bin/sh -c "exec ssh $ip" &
done

You need a name service. Have a look at, for instance
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4556, for information on the
naming services available and how to configure them in Solaris.

where exactly do you see those numbers? In the window frame?
In the shell prompt? In other commands?

Does "uname -n" show a name or an IP?

If you don't want to use IP addresses and do not have a name service
like DNS, just add the IPs and names to your "hosts" file: /etc/hosts
in Unix, or \SOMEWHE~E\HOSTS.TXT in Windows (but this is not the
group to discuss how to configure Windows) :P
