Name Your Notebook

If you plan to include your notebook on a home network, your notebook must have a unique name. In the What’s your computer’s name? window, you can retain the default name shown in the Computer name text field or choose another name.

For example, you might want to base your notebook name on

a person’s name, “David,” or a location, “Familyroom.” In order for your notebook name to be displayed on a network, the name

■Must be no longer than 15 characters.

■Must include only numerals (0-9), letters (A-Z and a-z), and hyphens.

■Cannot include spaces.

If you like, you can also enter a description of your notebook. The description may contain more characters than the notebook name, as well as spaces and special characters. For example, you could describe your notebook as “David’s game machine.”
