Startup Computer Name

[NathanGould]

During the startup for the new netbook we received in the starter kit, the Windows XP installation guide prompted for a Computer Name. Is there a specific format or name that is allocated to each robotics team competing in the FRC competition that should be used, or is it arbitrary? Also, the installation is prompting for an administration password; is there anything that our team should be using in either of those areas specifically?

Look in Chapter 2 of the 2010 Control System Manual (located at http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/content.aspx?id=10934).  Section 2.5 provides guidance on setting up the Classmate.  I don't think the recommended settings for computer name, etc are actually required for the driver station to function but it can't hurt to follow the recommendations.
