### Specifying or Changing the Computer's Host Name

To specify the host name of a computer:

1. Select the Host Names tab.

2. Select the Name Resolution sub-tab.

3. Type the host name of the computer in the This Computer's Host Name field.

   The host name in this case is one part of a fully-qualified host name composed of both host and domain name. For example, in the fully-qualified host name:

       poe.eng.mit.edu

   the host name is poe and the domain name is eng.mit.edu.

   The host name is stored as the HOSTNAME environment variable in the CONFIG.SYS file.

4. Click OK to save.
