fully qualified computer names for @home?

[djs1w]

would anyone know how to find my FQDN if I'm on the @home network? I've got my computer name but I'm not sure what the rest of it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

WTF is FQDN? On the @Home network, you set "@home" for your workgroup (unless you're using win2k - DON'T screw with the workgroup/domain if you don't know what you're doing in Win2k)
Then you set the computer name to C300.... blah blah blah that you're given by your ISP.

simple enough.

But, since @Home went bankrupt and under along with Excite, you should have had another ISP take over your internet service, right?

Fully Qualified Domain Name.

The old @HOME ones used to be something like this:

cx717845-a.pwy1.sdca.home.com

FQDN = fully qualified domain name. And yes, part of @home is still on the @home. There's other countries in the world besides the United States if you didn't realize that already. I know a few people online from the Netherlands who use @home still. And you can just do ping -a yourip
