They are in the Lantastic directory and the directory. Two computers named the same sounds like files copied from one computer, put on another, & the two connected on the network. I don't know if there are other things like network addresses, node assignments, whatever, which will also have to be differentiated between the machines. Then try editing the file with a hex editor, making note of either a finite field size with unused positions filled with a particular character, or a particular terminating character. If that's the case, you'd need to search the contents of the files for the string of that computer's name (copy it to a floppy, take it to a W9x or later machine & use the Find program with the option Containing Text). Otherwise, it may have been entered in a setup program on the installation disk which wrote all those in a binary file in some proprietary database structure. bat, or something file for lantastic which sets the name. I'd first poke around to see if there's just some editable text-based. I may be recalling this incorrectly, but it seems like Lantastic had all its drivers & setup info in files either in a lantastic directory or the root directory.

Lantastic? I remember that from somewhere around the umm, 80s? Do they still make it? Is this for some old radio traffic software? We need to dedicate that machine as a programmer, and that is basically what I want to call it on the network.Īnd yes, I have insulted that thing to the max when I could not figure out how to change its name on the network. The computer used to be the old one that was on there. Most computers names can be changed in DOS.ĭennis, this machine I want to put on the network has to have its name to something else, because there already is one of that name on the network. I would say that one name would have to be changed. I never had two computers on the same network with the same name. I have insulted the manual, but I could not find a reference where is dictates how to change the mane of the computer I am adding or the other one that collides with it. The only problem is another computer shares the same name as the one I am adding.

I am adding a DOS based computer on our Lantastic network.
