I'll double check... to see how that shows up on Sol_Bianca... 1) But I believe that hostname will return the TCPIP name, which in this case would be DHCP207-xxxx-yyyyy-zzzz...etc...
2) The system profiler does have networking configuration data, but I did not see the computer name in there... I'll double check.... Under Panther it certainly does, but it maybe based off the TCPIP name... - Benjamin _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
