How does a client determine the host name of the client computer?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
Most operating systems have a methodology for determining the host name of a client. On the command line, the command is usually 'hostname', for both Windows and Unix/Linux.
From the GUI Windows perspective, looking at the System or Computer properties will reveal the hostname.

How can one secure a host name for a computer?
In order to secure a host name for your computer, it is important to have internet hooked into the computer. Then a host name will be assigned to the computer
What are clients?
It is a similar name for customers. They are the people you provide a service to. In computing, a client is a computer that is part of a network and connected to a server. In this context a client can be called a host or sometimes a node. Like customers, services are being provided to it.
An administrator can discover the host name assigned to a client by using the utility?
The hostname utility!
What is a host name?
"Host" could mean your domain name provider, your webspace provider, etc. A host name is the name of your "Host".
What is client side DNS resolver cache?
The client resolver cache is the first place that the DNS client looks for host name resolution. Because it is a location in memory, the client resolver cache resolves IP addresses more quickly than the other host name resolution methods and does not create network traffic. The cache stores host names that have recently been resolved. It also contains mappings that are loaded from the Hosts file. These mappings include the record name, Time-to-Live (TTL) value, and IP address.
What part of a URL that identifies the host computer?
Domain Name
When you are binding to an LDAP server what information is passed between the server and LDAP client?
The client IP address, the clients host name, the port address to use during communication
How does the HOST file relate to DNS?
The host file provides a list of static DNS entries for a specific computer. In general, the computer checks it's host file for DNS lookup before going to the DNS server.If the server name is found in the host file, the computer uses the specified IP address. Otherwise, the server queries a DNS server for name lookup.
How do you find another computer name from cmd?
You can't find another computer name but you can find other users on the same computer. I am not sure but i think cmd is only a client based program not a server based.
How do you display the host name and ip address using Servlets?
The host name and the ip address is present in the HttpRequest object. Usually it is passed as an argument to the doXXX methods. public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws IOException { // Get client's IP address String ipAddress = req.getRemoteAddr(); // Get client's hostname String hostname = req.getRemoteHost(); }
How do you create work group?
Configuring a workgroup is easy - give the workgroup and name and use that name in the workgroup section for the computer identification. The other choice is for a client-server (domain) based network. Therefore you only have two choices for computer identification; either as a workgroup or as a domain (client/server).
Is a hosts name a netbios name?
Well no... A Windows machine's NetBIOS name is not to be confused with the computer's host name. Generally a computer running TCP/IP (whether it's a Windows machine or not) has a host name (also sometimes called a machine name or a DNS name). Generally the host name of a Windows computer is based on the NetBIOS name plus the Primary DNS Suffix, which are both set in the System Properties dialog box. There may also be "connection specific suffixes" which can be viewed or changed on the DNS tab in Control Panel → Network → TCP/IP → Advanced Properties. Host names are used by applications such as telnet, ftp, web browsers, etc. In order to connect to a computer running the TCP/IP protocol using its HOST name, the host name must be resolved into an IP Address. Host name- or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)-IP address resolution is typically done by a Domain Name System (DNS) server. Copied from wiki. I really couldn't have explained it any better. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetBIOS
