com.hume.DMH.Hostname

public class Hostname
extends Object

This class is used to determine the TCP/IP hostname of the local computer. The result is stripped of the domain name so that only the hostname is returned.

There are Microsoft IE java versions that return the useless result "localhost".

 System.out.println("TCP/IP hostname is " + Hostname.getHostname() );
