>>Hi Hugo,
>>Thank you very much. On my computer - which is not on the network - when I call GetEnv("COMPUTERNAME") I get the actual computer name (e.g. "dmitry12333'). If I were on the corporate network would I get the same, computer name or IP of the computer?

I think "capturing" the computer name is very helpful still. This will allow me to see if a specific computer keeps losing connection to the server.
Thank you!
