Is this your box name?
Otherwise it should be getting names from a DNS server around, take a look at /etc/resolv.conf, there you find information about the DNS servers you are connected to.

This is SUN box. I could not find IP it in vi /etc/resolv.conf
YES ADL001 is the name of the box I am connecting to. I can find the IP address itself on ADL001 in hosts file. But where it is resolved on the box I run telnet from
