I should have asked explicitly: given my MAC address, how do I determine the associated hostname? Can I ping it? Is there still a fixed associated hostname on Comcast? A Google search yielded posts that suggests Comcast might be changing their practices on that.
You can find your name from your IP, using the host command, as I showed in a previous message. You should be able to get your IP from the router.
