Machine Name?

On this page, http://beta.asp.net/guidedtour2/s2.aspx

the VWD Guided Tour states:

"Throughout the Guided Tour you will see references to "machine-name" and the username used in the demo.  Be certain to change all references of "machine-name" to your machine name, and username to your username."

What's a machine-name and where do I find it   Ditto user-name

Machine Name?

  • Nicholas Buse

    Not caseless.  Your suggestion worked very well too.  Thank you.

    Thank you.  I appreciate your getting me back on track.

    A CMD prompt hostname returns "compaq" (lower-case).

    Using Windows XP "Help and Support Center", Tools, Advanced System Information, View detailed system information (Msinfo32.exe);  System Name = "COMPAQ" (upper-case).

    Despite the lower-case/upper-case difference, it seems "machine name", hostname and "system name" are synonyms for the same field.

    get a CMD prompt and there, type

    hostname

    there you will see your machine name

    your username the name you used to log in to your actual session :-)

    I think is caseless. But you can see you machine name also in Start -> My Computer -> Right Click -> Properties -> Computer Name
    Big Smile.
