If your other machines (particularly, athlon) have fixed ip addresses, you can
add stanzas for them in /etc/hosts on your client machine and your system
should then be able to resolve them, i.e.:
127.0.0.1 localhost clientname
ip.addr.of.athlon athlon
Alternatively, what kind of names will your router resolve for you? I think
that if ping can resolve it, mount should be able to, too. I thought I
remembered having to fully qualify names of computers on our network at work
with our 2wire router (i.e. servername.gateway.2wire.net), but testing it I
see that that is not the case.
