Then you've probably installed the server variant of Ubuntu, which is rather like Debian than the desktop variant (and I prefer it over a pure Debian install myself). But I don't think that a new user has the server installed instead of the desktop version, which is the one I'm referring to here.

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

in.aspd

ASPD(8) 							    User Manual 							   ASPD(8)

NAME

       aspd - Address Search Protocol Daemon

SYNOPSIS

       aspd    [-r repetitions] [-i interface] [hostname]
       aspd    -V

       in.aspd [-r repetitions] [hostname]
       in.aspd -V

DESCRIPTION

       Aspd  is  a  daemon  that  waits for incoming address requests on asp's port. If aspd detects itself as being the searched host, it sends a
       reply to the client, allowing the retrieval of its IP address. It is possible to specify an alternate hostname on command line, instead	of
       using the value returned from the gethostname(3) function. This is useful if your hostname is dynamically changed when the link goes up.

       If aspd is invoked as in.aspd it will work as a server: it makes its work and exit, instead of wait for new requests; this is useful if you
       want inetd(8) to automatically run the server when a request arrives.

OPTIONS

       -r repetitions
	      Set the number of times to re-send the reply. Default is 5 times.

       -i interface
	      Set the interface used to get the address to send to the client, for example ppp0.  Note that this option can't be used if  aspd	is
	      invoked by inetd. Note also that you have to kill aspd if the interface address changes.

       -V     Show version information

LOGGING

       The  peer  IP  address  and the searched hostname are logged through the syslogd(8) system logger daemon, using the daemon facility and the
       notice level. Transmission errors use the warning level and are logged only if aspd was compiled with the debug support.

FILES

       /etc/services
	      Used by aspd to find the asp protocol port number.

BUGS

       Maybe.
