Try assigning your machine a static IP out of one of the RFC 1918 private IP 
blocks (ex. 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255)

More info on that at:  http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc1918.html

You can give it any hostname (foo.domain.com) you want to set it up.

I'm assuming from what you've described this will be a stand-alone machine 
not connected to the Net.
