When you connect to your RH box via your laptop in girlfriends room, what 
is the IP address of your laptop?  Is it getting the IP address via DHCP?
Then, if you type "host your.ip.address.here" what do you see?

Remember, it isn't what you have your hostname set to.  Its what is your 
IP address and what does everyone else think the hostname is for this IP 
address.
