change the name of computer shown in the router page
hi
how to change the name of comptuer that dhcp recognizes ? i mean my computer name is SMT and in the ddwrt router page it is shown as some some other name .. the name of the shop from which i purchased the system.. how to change that ? changing hostname has no effect .. reseting the router has no effect .. EDIT it turns out that i have reserved the ip in my ddwrt router for the pc and in ddwrt i have to enter the hostname ,ip , and mac at the time of reservation .. and that was the issue .. as at the time of reservation i have used one name .. later i changed it to soething else. now i am haivng another issue .. another another laptop running windows 7 shows itself as * in the status > active clients in my ddwwrt routers page. That page has a table which shows ip mac and the hostname .. how can i change the host name the pc shows to the ddwwrt ? |

This is quite easy - SysInternals released a small program that was capable of doing this for you - The program is called "NewSID" - Basically you give it a new SID and it goes through your entire system and changes this for you.
Here is a link for this program: Microsoft Sysinternals – New SID Tool. | Microsoft | Downloads for Information Technology Professionals. Microsoft, Linux, Cisco & Apple. If you get stuck, inbox me and let me know. |
