currently I perform operations between different computers in my

I'm wondering without yet finding an answer how to do the same thing
using (instead of the IP address) the name of the computer ..
Do I have to Installase BIND? And then what else is needed? ...
Have you tried Multicast DNS
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_DNS>? See mDNS on Fedora
Linux <https://fedoramagazine.org/find-systems-easily-lan-mdns/>
This is what I was just going to suggest. You need to set on each
computer a unique hostname with "hostnamectl" and make sure that avahi
is running. On the computer you're connecting from, make sure you have
"nss-mdns" installed (I don't know if it is by default). Then you can
use "<myhostname>.local" to connect. If you don't set a hostname, I
think the default is "linux", so you end up with linux.local,
linux-2.local, etc.
