6 Enter a description, computer name, and domain or workgroup:
For Description, enter a description of the computer. This appears in the Network Â
Places window on Windows computers, and is optional.
For Computer Name, enter the name you want Windows users to see when they Â
connect to the server. This is the server’s NetBIOS name. The name should contain
no more than 15 characters, no special characters, and no punctuation. If practical,
make the server name match its unqualied DNS host name. For example, if your
DNS server has an entry for your server as “server.example.com,” give your server
the name “server.”
For Domain, enter the name of the Windows domain that the server will host. Â
The domain name cannot exceed 15 characters and cannot be “workgroup.”
For Workgroup, enter a workgroup name. Windows users see the workgroup name Â
in the My Network Place (or Network Neighborhood) window. If you have Windows
domains on your subnet, use one of them as the workgroup name to make it
easier for clients to communicate across subnets. Otherwise, consult your Windows
network administrator for the correct name. The workgroup name cannot exceed
15 characters.
