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.
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
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.
"Host" could mean your domain name provider, your webspace provider, etc. A host name is the name of your "Host".
The hostname utility!
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.
Domain Name
The client IP address, the clients host name, the port address to use during communication
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.
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.
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(); }
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).
It means there are two "computer name" are same on your network. To solve this problem Go to My computer's properties then click on computer name then click on "Change" and change your Computer name like server, client, mycomputer etc. click on Ok. The system ask you to restart your computer, click on yes and restart your computer. Your problem is solved.
