I remember in NT4.0 one could set a hostname to be different from netbios
name by using the tcp/ip configuration dialog. I have been looking for a
way to change it in w2K and haven't found one.
 
Hello,

The DNS name and the NetBIOS are now the same. There is only one computer
name now and this is used as both the NetBIOS (downlevel) name and the host
name.
