Hi! Because my Leopard DVD is broken (the installation fails) I had to get "some" other copy somewhere else, lets leave that there

But, after I installed everything to have my OS like I had it before I had to reinstall the system, I installed macports (but I just got rid of it, because I think it did the thing I am going to explain) and with it mysql, phg and apache2 (but I also uninstalled them using macports). And other programs without the macports (Eclipse, Mono, Office, TextMate, Vlc,....)

So, the point!:

My terminal now looks like this:

Instead of "hoasnet-fe25dd00-15:" shoudn't have to appear my name?

Am I paranoid?

It should display the name of the machine you are logged into. Check if your computer is named correctly in System Prefs>Sharing>Computer Name

Thats the thing, the computer named is correct in Systems prefs, but not in the terminal, any idea why?
