dnscomputer-name

Is this a machine name or what?

I have a third party dll, that is supposed to return machine name. Sometimes it returns

\\John-PC

some other times it returns

\\192.168.1.120

and recently i discovered that it returns something like this

\\[ef80::32d6:2255:27dd:123c]

So what is the third option?

If it is not a bug or MAC orelse, could i convert it to \192.168.1.120 and get happy???

Solution

  • It is the IPv6 version of the IPv4 address 192.168.1.120 . It also amuses me how your DLL seems to be indecisive with what to return.
