What is my Hostname on File Zilla?
Q. Hey i need to make a FTP to transfer some files and am using File Zilla. The part i don't understand is how to make a connection. I don't know what my hostname is or my Port. My computer is wireless connected to the network if that helps. Well i have heard that the hostname is your IP but when i try that it comes up with an error and doesn't connect. Any help? thanks I forgot to add that the other computer is on the same network.

A. i think the port is normally 21, if you're trying to access your computer from outside of your LAN, then you need to setup port forwarding so that your machine is reachable from outside.

If i'm adding a computer to a domain how would IP addressing and hostname work?
Q. Would they be manually assigned? If not how would they do done?
Asked by Sandra - Fri Apr 29 08:36:13 2011 - Computer Networking - 2 Answers - Comments
A. When you have a network the IP address is assigned automatically by the PDC or the primary domain controller. You may also manually configure the IP address range in the PDC and then assign individual IP's for individual computers but this is rarely the case. The best option is to leave DHCP on and set IP address allocation to "obtain automatically from server"

What happens when you ping a hostname?
Q. This is a question I am being told might be asked in an interview. and im not quite sure what to make of it. (googling doesn't really clear it up) im hoping people in the know, can guide me to learning how to answer this properly. thanks!!
Asked by - Sun Aug 28 07:11:27 2011 - Computer Networking - 1 Answers - Comments
A. Pinging is asking a server for a response to see if it's alive. The name is derived from the 'ping' that submarine SONAR ranging devices use. When you ping a hostname, the hostname is looked up in your DNS and resolved to an IP address. Your computer then sends a ping request to that IP Address. If the device at that address is configured to respond to ping request then it will fire an acknowledgement packet of data back at you saying "here I am, I'm alive".

How to find a machine's hostname given its IP address?
Q. I am on freebsd machine and I would like to find the hostname/related information of an ip address - not my machine's hostname though. Any command to use? e.g. 66.228.162.119

A. If your freebsd machine is connected to the Internet, you can use the command nslookup . Do "man nslookup" to find out about all the options. Or, you can use the command dig -x which will give you a lot more information. Again, "man dig" should provide help on how to use the various options.
