Enter the host name
A host nam e allo ws you t o refer to a de vice by a name rather than an IP add ress.
Network Discovery uses the host name to refer to itself in the e-mails it sends.
Note: Define a domain name server before changing the host name.
The Host name page has two modes: prompted and manual.
In prompted mode, Network Discovery will try to read its own host name from
the domain name server. If Network Discovery finds a host name matching its IP
address, you will be asked to confirm that the match is correct.
In manual mode, Network Discovery has failed to find a match for its own IP
address. You will be given the option to enter a host name.
