Several networking questions:

1) There are status icons for airport and bluetooth connections, but is there any way to display network status icon for the ethernet connection?

2) When my powerbook gets an IP address from a DHCP server, the machine name changes from, say "powerbook" to "dhcpXXXYYYYZZZTTT.domain.tld" that is assigned by the DHCP server (where XXX.YYY.ZZZ.TTT is the IP address and domain.tld is my IPS's domain). Obviously I have no control over the DHCP server. Is it possible to make the machine to ignore the DHCP assigned name and to keep the one that I assigned?

3) Any suggestions for user-friendly software that displays the volume of the incoming and outgoing traffic, the IP addresses etc. (other than netstat and the similar *nix commands)?
