Hi all,
I've posted that question a few days ago to java.lang.programmer
but got no response :-(
But, since this problem is really bugging me, and there might be some
people in this list that run there progs under NT and Linux, just as me,
I hope to find a solution here.
Anyway, here is the problem, easy and simple ....
when I use
String localhostname=(InetAddress.getLocalHost()).getHostName();
under Linux I get the fully qualified hostname, under NT just the local
hostname, eg. host instead of host.my.domain.com
Our admin says that its an NT feature/problem (you never know) because it
stores both names separately and returns usually only the local hostname.
Is there a workaround for that, so I can get the fully qualyfied hostname or
do I just have to live with that? Or even better is our system misconfigured
and I can tell our admin that he's wrong (which is always fun ;-) )
Thanks in advance
Mark
