[AG-DEV] Toolkit.CmdlineApplication.instance().GetHostname() question

[Jason Bell]

Hi guys

Quick question, there is a function call within VenueVNCServer3.py:

	hostname=Toolkit.CmdlineApplication.instance().GetHostname()

Question, how does it get the hostname, as I have found this to not
always get the correct hostname....  (IE, I had a machine today - winXP
- 64bit that keep returning localhost address [127.0.0.1]), so I
manually changed hostname="ipadress" and it then worked.

So, does it do a nslookup... Or something like that ???

I am just not sure if this method is the best, rather simply getting the
ip address would be better (as not all machines would be in the DNS,
etc).

Anyway, would like to know how
"Toolkit.CmdlineApplication.instance().GetHostname()" works better.
Where do I find this function?????

Many thanks,
Jason.
