I am looking for a VI that will give me the computer 'Host Name".

[ErnieGraff]

I need to launch a rather program from a server from several PCs.  The program needs to know what PC it is running on in order to select several setup parameters.  Thus I am looking for a VI that will give me the local computer's (Host) name.  I have tried the "gethostname" function in the "wsock.dll", but I keep crashing the system. 

Thank You.

You use the String to IP with no input wired and wire the ouput to IP to String. Both of these functions are on the Communication>TCP palette.
