    From a vb activeX exe application I would like to dynamically determine the name of the computer.
    I need to install in a web server. depending on the Server on which the component is installed it should take the name of the computer. what method can I use to retrive the computer name?
    If any one have an idea on this do reply soon.
    thanks for your time.

    you can retrieve the 'friendly name' of a computer with the winsock controll

    Code:
