How do I get the local machine name?
896
In C, you may use the gethostname function. #include <unistd. h> int gethostname(char *name, size_t namelen); The gethostname() function shall return the standard host name for the current machine.
Using the command promptFrom the Start menu, select All Programs or Programs, then Accessories, and then Command Prompt. In the window that opens, at the prompt, enter hostname . The result on the next line of the command prompt window will display the hostname of the machine without the domain.
Machine Name is the NetBIOS name of your computer and is used by the Windows Browser Service. The Hostname is the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) used by DNS. If you\'re on a domain, your Hostname may look something like this: MyComputerName.TheDomainName.com. This is quite common and is normal.
System.Environment.MachineName
It works unless a machine name has more than 15 characters.

Four ways to get your local network/machine name:
string name = Environment.MachineName; string name = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName(); string name = System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.ComputerName; string name = System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("COMPUTERNAME"); More information at: Difference between SystemInformation.ComputerName, Environment.MachineName, and Net.Dns.GetHostName
