Is it a Win98 machine?
I've recently made my Win98 machine into a Win2K machine but, from
recollection, the local machine doesn't see its own hostname unless you
plant it in the Hosts file. Reason is, Win98 isn't a server platform so it
simply doesn't have a server name. If there is no NIC, just use 127.0.0.1
as the IP address.
