Is it posible to create objects with different names dinamically?

Question

Hi,
I'm creating an app that manages different wireless nodes in a network and I was thinking that I could create a class called Node which would have a constructor that every time I created an object Node, I would pass the address and some other data about the Node and the constructor will save all that data and also create a unique ID for every Node object.
Now the problem is that I need to be able to discover all the nodes in my network every time the user clicks a Ping button. So every time the users clicks Ping I need to do a ping and create as many Node objects as nodes I have in my network. The thing is I don't know how to make it create the node objects with different names so after I've created all the nodes objects I can refer to one of them.
Something like this.
int Id=0;
id++;
Node node+Id = new Node();
I think its not possible to do something like that. If it isn't how can I do to refer to one of the objects I've created?
Thanks.

Thanks to both of you. I'll check out the Link and if I can't find the solution there I'll make the array , I don't know how I didn't think about doing that. There are two collections you should study specifically:
First you have the ArrayList which in essense is a growable array. This means you don't have to decide in advance how big it can be.
Second there's the HashMap. It's sometimes called an associate array. Such an array doesn't have fixed position indexes like an ordinary array. Instead each index (called key) is associated with a value but the keys don't have any particular order. Still, given a certain key, finding the corresponding value in a HashMap is almost as fast as an array access.
