Hi all,
Apologies for the poor description that is about to follow but i'm not too sure of the terminology. Basically, I have just installed IDL which comes with a license file that requires the host name of the computer. Now, in the sharing pane of system preferences I have called my computer MacBook, so this is what I entered for the host name.
Now, the problem is that when I try and start the IDL license manager I get an error saying that macbook.lan is not a valid server address and that valid options are MacBook. I have no way of telling it to use MacBook rather than macbook.lan. What I have noticed is that in the sharing pane under the options for things like screen sharing etc the address is vnc://macbook.lan so obviously the computer is also called macbook.lan somewhere else but I have no idea how to change that.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated!
