Most likely he is referring to his hostname. One of the many quirks working support is some people call their computers crazy things.
The funniest one is when the old timers called theirs the 'mainframe' or 'hard drive'....

But on a side note, we don't close threads cause they are resolved. And we really enjoy it when you find an answer to your own question, you post it so it might helps others when searching for answers.

Boards that do that really suck.
