Where does terminal / OS x pick this up from?



It used to display 'JonLaptop' the name of my laptop, but for some reason it doesnt any longer!
 
Not quite what I wanted but thanks for tutorial on how to use google, I never knew how to use it before! :-)

Maybe I should re-phrase / expand my question a little.... How does OS X decide what goes there automatically? The reason I'm asking is that I'm using synergy and with OS X seemingly changing the terminal name on random I was always having problems connecting to my mac from my pc.

Code: 
section: screens
	JonLaptop:
	JONBPC:
		meta = alt 

end

That was my initial set up and it all worked fine. Over the past couple of weeks i've had to add this as a result of the different names that appear in the terminal screen. Is this normal? Is there anyway for me to get it to stick to one?

Code: 
section: aliases
	JonLaptop:#As set in sharing preference pane
		JonLaptop.lan #As set in sharing preference pane
		JonLaptop.local #As set in sharing preference pane
		Unknown-00-19-e3-37-8b-0c.lan #Macbook mac address
		Unknown-00-19-e3-37-8b-0c #As set in sharing preference pane
		192.168.1.108 #Static IP on my lan
		Jonny #SMB Sharing name
		Jonny.lan #SMB Sharing name
end

Also what's with the .lan and .local bits?
