hey guys,
I was wondering if there is anyway that my java app could retrieve the computer name.

IE
My computer could be named "PhiberOptik-desktop"
I want to retreive "PhiberOptik-desktop" !

Thanks PO.
History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.

Nevermind Figured it out!

java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. import java.net.*;
  2.  
  3. class myName {
  4.  
  5. public static void main (String args[]) {
  6.  
  7. try {
  8. InetAddress address = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
  9. System.out.println("Hello. My name is " + address.getHostName());
  10. }
  11. catch (UnknownHostException e) {
  12. System.out.println("I'm sorry. I don't know my own name.");
  13. }
  14.  
  15. }
  16.  
  17. }
History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.
