Registry question

[Manu]

Does anyone know what the key "NV Hostname" stand for in
windows XP and 2003 registry.

The key is located under
HKLM/system/currentcontrolset/services/tcpip/parameters

Thanks,

not sure about NV, but it is just the hostname the computer identifies
itself as on a network.

Hi,

NV Hostname is Next Value Hostname - this is the value your hostname will
be the next time the registry is read (reboot). If you change your hostname
and don't reboot the new hostname is stored here.

Thanks,
