Q: How do I set my device's TCP Host Name?

There are two ways to change the device's host name.
  1. Set it in the Registry
    Change the following registry keys in ADSLOAD.REG (descibed in the CE Developer's Getting Started Guide):

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident]
    "OrigName"="WinCE"
    "Name"="MyUniqueName"

  2. Set it Programmatically
    You can call the sethostname API, which is defined in winsock.h and defined as:

    int WINSOCKAPI sethostname(char *pName, int cName);
    Where pName is a buffer containing the new host name (ANSI characters) and cName is the size of that buffer.


updated March 13, 03 (cbt): added explanation of sethostname parameters

The device domain name is acquired from the DHCP server if DHCP is enabled. If you are using a static IP address, you can set the Domain Name by adding or modifying the following registry key on the device:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TCPIP\Parms]
    "DNSDomain"="MyDomain"
