How do you figure out the display name of your Mac?

[iPodAddict181]

I am trying to SSH into a server, and it works, but I cannot get X to run remotely on my Mac. I need to figure out the display name, and the IP address doesn't seem to be working. I've tried this on Windows and Linux machines, and it works, but I just can't seem to figure out my display name. Help please?

P.S. I have a MacBook Pro 2.4ghz, 2008 Penryn editon, running Leopard v. 10.5.4 (If that makes any difference)

did you try "ssh -X address" ?

I'm not sure what you mean by display name but what you are probably looking for is the hostname of the computer?

Depending on the OS,
in Terminal.app, at a bash prompt, or at a command prompt type

hostname
