The runtime system on each client machine passes the client hostname to the server machine.
DOS
On DOS clients, AcuServer determines the client hostname from the IP address of the client. These IP addresses are usually set up via /etc/hosts on the server, or via DNS on a Domain Name Server.
Windows 95/98
On Windows 95 and Windows 98 clients, the runtime uses the host name that is set in the Control Panel in the following menus:
Control Panel/Network/Configuration
Select TCP/IP, then choose:
Properties/DNS Configuration/Host
The name you specify for the "Host" entry is the one that the runtime uses.
Windows NT/2000
On Windows NT and Windows 2000 clients:
Start/Settings/Control Panel/Network/Protocols
Select TCP/IP, then choose:
Properties/DNS/Host Name
The name you specify for the "Host Name" entry is the one that the runtime uses.
UNIX
On UNIX clients, the runtime uses the host name that is in the file "/etc/hosts".
