<DIV><BR></DIV>I think you still need to put this in context. Kevin is writing
a program. <BR>It is easy to find this informaiton by hand, more difficult to
get it <BR>programatically. I can generally answer much of the programming
questions <BR>in C or C++ but not in terms of a BASIC dialect I don't know.
<BR>From a program there are roughtly 3 ways:<BR>1. Directly through an API.
(best way)<BR>2. Indirectly by calling a standard command and parsing the
output.<BR>3. By looking at Windows internal structures. I consider the
Registry as an <BR>internal structure in this context). <BR><BR>Host names are
generally associated with each interface. On Windows, there <BR>are pseudo
interfaces. So you need to find the one associated with the NIC <BR>or the IP
address, or on a LAN without IP, the appropriate host name, also
<BR>associatred with a NIC card. <BR>On 26 Jun 2002 at 13:46, Warren E. Agin
