Hi Paul, that field is not normally needed or filled in, are you having a problem?
This is for 10.5, but I think it applies to any OSX...

But, what works for me when I've tried it is the Computer Name in System Preferences>Sharing.
Note, sometimes too long of name there or a name with spaces or non-standard characters can make it not work.

Administrators may choose to configure DHCP Client IDs on their network client units in order to statically assign a DHCP provided IP Address to a computer in a specific location. Also, some ISPs required that a DHCP Client ID be configured in order for a DHCP lease to be acquired.
