How do i know what my computer name is?
 

hi,

How can i find out what my linux machine's name is? I have the internal ip but whats the computer name? Does linux have the equivalent of windows "workgroup"?

The reason i need this is because my new router doesnt have loopback so i cant use ip addresses to do port forwarding. I would have to know the name. According this this guy:

Thanks

uname -a

Actually just 'uname -n' for the name only...

or just type; hostname

or usually the stuff after the @ in your prompt.....

Thanks a lot everyone. I tried all three ways out of curiosity and yes your all right. ;)


Thank you.
