### Specifying or Changing the Computer's Local Domain Name

To specify the domain name of a computer:

1. Select the Host Names tab.

2. Select the Name Resolution sub-tab.

3. Type the domain name of the computer in the Local Domain Name field.

   This is the domain where your host resides, including all subdomains and the root domain, separated by periods.

   The domain name is also part of a fully-qualified host name. In the fully-qualified host name:

       poe.eng.mit.edu

   the domain name is eng.mit.edu.

   As an alternative to specifying a domain name, you can specify domains to be searched in the LAN Domain Search List field. If you specify both a local domain name and domains to be searched, the LAN Domain Search List will be used exclusively.

4. Click OK to save your Local Domain Name entry.
