In /etc/hosts on host 192.168.0.102 add a line
192.168.0.101 a266.<whatever your domain part is> a266
This said when not running an own DNS. If a name server for the own
domain is running, then be sure /etc/resolv.conf has the "search" entry
for the domain, to be able to reach the other host by short hostname.
