Jason - thanks for the response. I should have asked, Can anyone telme how
to obtain a computer's network name from the operating system?

I'm sure you know that if you (setenv "computername" "bogus") a subsequent
call to (getenv "computername") will return bogus. All the while, the
computer's "real" network name remains unchanged.

So I'm trying to get to the system level computer name.

Is DOSlib's dos_hostname any better for your needs?

Alternately, you could go digging in the Windows Registry.

I don't want to use DOSlib. I'm seeking a way to do this with Autolisp.

Smart thinking.

In Windows XP Registry I found these keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ActiveComputerName
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName

Perhaps read the value of "ComputerName" under one of these keys.
