I don't know if any of those are set (surely I doubt 'domain' or 'loginserver' since I think those are unique to a system that is logging into a windows domain or active-directory.) You might try HOSTNAME Are you looking for the name set for the system under networking settings on the WINS tab, or under sharing settings for Bonjour? or set somewhere else? -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
