Changing your computer name and domain after
installation
Edit the file d:\IBMLAN\IBMLAN.INI with any plain
text editor. Find the lines in
the [requester] section that begins with COMPUTERNAME
and DOMAIN.
These lines might looks like this:
COMPUTERNAME = NODE1234
DOMAIN = IBMPEERS
You can change these to whatever you want:
COMPUTERNAME = MYLAPTOP
DOMAIN = MYNETWORK
You do not need to reboot to make these changes take
effect, but you do need
to stop and restart the network. Open an OS/2 window
and type the following
commands:
NET STOP PEER
NET START PEER
Of course, you can simply reboot, too, if you like.
Putting your system into multiple domains
Edit the file d:\IBMLAN\IBMLAN.INI with any plain
text editor. Find the line in
the [requester] section that begins with
"othdomains". Normally this line looks
like this:
othdomains =
You can change it to include a number of domains
separated by commas:
othdomains = WORKGROUP,MYDOMAIN,TEST
You do not need to reboot to make these changes take
effect, but you do need
to stop and restart the network. Open an OS/2 window
and type the following
commands:
NET STOP PEER
NET START PEER
Of course, you can simply reboot, too, if you like.
