I know this is not really what you want,
but maybe it will get you by until you find a
better answer.

Make a Batch file to run from the desk top
after a start up. It will give you your hostname
(computer name) and the IP address...etc

c:
cd\
cd windows
cd system32
ipconfig /all
pause

rem open notepad
rem paste this text
rem save as ipconfig.bat
rem run from anywhere
