computer name

computer name
   1. In Microsoft Windows NT, a name of up to 15 uppercase letters that identifies a specific computer to the other computers on the network. The computer name is created during installation and must be unique within the workgroup or domain; you can change the computer name using the Network applet in Control Panel.
   2. In NetBIOS, a name of up to 15 characters that uniquely identifies a workstation to computers and users. Once a computer is named, NetBIOS can establish sessions between computers and use those links to exchange data between systems. These exchanges can be either NetBIOS requests or Server Message Block (SMB) data. Network applications use NetBIOS names to locate resources, although the Windows Sockets API is now more commonly used.
   See also NetBIOS; WinSock.
