what exactly does the computer mean by "SERVER NAME"?  What is a server name?

Generally the server name is your IP address - it's what people will need to know to access the webcam stream.  \n\nIf you had a domain name registered, you could set that up to point to your computer.  In that case the server name would be www.yourdomain.com or whatever the form of your domain happened to be.

It means you are probably trying to log onto a server with a local account, or you are trying to use remote desktop on a computer that's not set up for it.  Either way, you'll have to get with an administrator to solve your problem.

On Windows Server Systems, the domain controller (DC) is the server that responds to security authentication requests (logging in, checking permissions, etc.) within the Windows Server domain.\n\nIn Windows NT, the central domain controller was known as the Primary Domain Controller (PDC), of which there could only be one with this role; all other domain controllers were identified as Backup Domain Controllers (BDC). In Windows 2000 and later, all domain controllers are theoretically equal, and therefore identified simply as Domain Controllers (DC). In practice however, this may not always be the case. In NT, a BDC can authenticate the users in a Domain.

It means you have an Administrator logged in while you were logged in. Are you sharing your network with any other computer?\n\nNormally that message comes up when you are sharing a network with more than 1 computer and its possible that an Admin has already logged in when you logged in. A computer can have more than 1 user on the same network.

The domain name system (DNS) is the way that Internet domain names are located and translated into IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to-remember "handle" for an Internet address. Because maintaining a central list of domain name/IP address correspondences would be impractical, the lists of domain names and IP addresses are distributed throughout the Internet in a hierarchy of authority.\n\nDNS Server should installed on your server for configuration. There are many books available in the market to learn how to configure and work with DNS.

Use the java.net.InetAddress class or one of its two subclasses.\n\nNote:  the string name for the computer will be as it is mapped in the DNS, which may be slightly different than what you see "locally".

On the command prompt run "ping <servername>"\n\nThis should give you the IP address of the server in question\n\nIf you are looking for your own IP address go "ipconfig /all"

If you are running Windows XP, \n\n• Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. \n• Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK. \n• Click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System. \n\n\nTo change a computer name, follow these steps: \n\n1. Click the Computer Name tab, and then click Change. \n\n2. Type the new computer name in the Computer name dialog box. \n\n3. Type the new domain or workgroup in either the Domain dialog box or the Workgroup dialog box.  \n\n4. Click More to change the primary Domain Name System (DNS) suffix.\n\n5. Click OK three times, and then restart the computer.

It is hosted on different servers, we call them web-hosts.\nThese servers have 24x7 connection to the internet..so that websites can be accessed at all times. This is different from our home where we connect to the internet only when required. All the content of internet is distributed on diff servers..not on a single machine.\n\nwebsite addresses like yahoo.com and google.com are mapped using the DNS concept. read more about DNS here\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS

your connection string should stay close to the same. the difference should be instead of c:/... it would be the machine address or name. also you would include the login/pass with the connection string. its very simple. link below help with connection strings

First, one needs to understand that every computer connected to the Internet has an IP address.  Some are private (i.e. they only work within a private network.) Others are public.  In case it's not obvious, a Web site would use a public IP address.\n\nThe domain name that you are used to using to access most Web sites is actually a mask of sorts.  The Domain Name System - as it is known - translates the more user friendly domain name into an IP address by looking up the name in one of the thousands (if not millions) of domain name servers around the world.  Based on a complex series of relationships between the servers, a domain name for a server hosted accross the world can be retrieved in fractions of a second.\n\nSo when you type in a domain in your browser, your browser sends a lookup request to the domain name server provided by your company or ISP.  This domain name server returns the IP address for that domain to your browser so that it can pass the request on to the Web site's server.\n\nSo to get to your question, "IP websites" work because the browser is directly addressing the server without the overhead of looking up the domain name.

all that it means is that for technical reasons a web site has been divided. Perhaps parts of the web site are using two different technologies or are on two separate servers. Not only does the number have no significance, it could be anything b4 the domain name . This is called a host name. Multiple host names can be under the same domain name (like answers.yahoo.com or groups.yahoo.com are both under yahoo.com)

Probably nothing that you don't already have. Just about any computer these days can function as a server. What exactly are you trying to do? Please let me know and I'll provide more specific info.

#A server program is a program that runs on a server machine while a client program runs on a client machine.

A Server provides a service.  The service could be a web service (for HTTP), a file service (for files sharing), a database service (for SQL), etc.\n\nA server is normally connected to the same network your workstation is on (or routed to), and allows access by some type of predetermined security.\n\nWhen a request is made for a service on you machine (you reference a file or other computer, request some data, etc), the request is redireected (data) or routed (HTTP / SQL) to the appropriate network location.  Security is validated and information returned.\n\nThis is a VERY OVER-SIMPLIFIED explanation, but I think that's what you are looking for.

www is only a "name" given to the server-computer.\n\nThe server is many computers (or partitions) and each can be given its own name. Which makes sense, since all the Yahoo Answers stuff can be put on (saved on) one computer called "answers". That's why the URL of this website is answers.yahoo.com - for yahoo mail, the URL is mail.yahoo.com (all the mail stuff is on a server called "mail").\n\nIn the beginning, when the web wasn't that big, no-one needed special sections, so they just called the server computer "www" out of pure laziness. that's why it's normal for most websites to be www.something.com - but if they wanted, they could've also called them shoes.something.com or hahaha.something.com\n\nthe www/answers/mail/hahaha part tells the connection to which server-computer it should connect, that's all.\n\nIt's not safer or more secure lol. It's just the name of the server.

if you try to ping the domain name im assuming that you are unable to resolve the host name.  If this is happening make sure in TCP/IP properties that you have the DNS Server Addresses right (or in your dhcp setup... whatever provides your network info)  If that is set up correctly make sure that DNS is running on your server (that the service is started)  If that is fine I would assume that your DNS is setup Incorrectly.  You might want to try to get a basic setup of dns on it to test it.  Its hard to give steps with out knowing more details (type of server, Network layout, type of workstation, Linux, Unix, Mac, Window, Dhcp, static IP address)
