To find your Host Name and Physical Address using the Windows Command Prompt:

Open the Command Prompt window by clicking on Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.

Note: If you do not have access to the Command Prompt, please contact your IT department or someone with administrative rights to your machine to help you locate the information.

Type
ipconfig /all
and press the Enter key.

Your Host Name will appear at the top, under the section Windows IP Configuration:
