Domain Name

There are two types of domain names, local and remote. Local domain names cannot include an asterisk (*). For the default local domain name, you can use the domain name specified in the DNS property sheet in the Network application in Control Panel. This domain is automatically assigned during startup. Or you can type a unique name to override the automatic setting. To determine the domain name: In the Start menu, select Settings, and then select Control Panel. In the Control Panel window, start the Network application, and then select the Protocols property sheet. Select TCP/IP Protocol, and then select Properties. Select the DNS property sheet. The domain name is shown in the Domain box. A remote domain name can include an asterisk (*) only if it is the first character listed and is followed by a period (.). This indicates that all inclusive domains use the same settings as the domain youÆre creating .
