@hostname and WinXP missing. need help.

I can get my KiXtart scripts to run, but it won't return the @hostname information as it does from Win98 workstations. Am I missing something?
I do have the computer name identified in the setup.
My statement that defined the variable is:
$fhname="@hostname"
then I print it to a file.
Any ideas? Is WinXP reporting differently?

What version of Kix are you running?
Can you report back what you get from the following?
code:
break on cls
?"KIX "+@KIX
?"WUSERID "+@WUSERID
?"USERID "+@USERID
?"DOMAIN "+@DOMAIN
?"LDOMAIN "+@LDOMAIN
?"FULLNAME "+@FULLNAME
?"COMMENT "+@COMMENT
?"HOMESHR "+@HOMESHR
?"HOSTNAME "+@HOSTNAME
?"PRIV "+@PRIV
?"PWAGE "+@PWAGE
?"MAXPWAGE "+@MAXPWAGE
?"PRIMARYGROUP "+@PRIMARYGROUP
?"LSERVER "+@LSERVER
?"LDRIVE "+@LDRIVE
?
?"Press any Key to continue"
get $k
Thanks,
Kent

Thanks for the help. The answers to your questions. "Kix32.exe hostname.kix" run on the host machine resulted in:
KIX 4.02
WUSERID EHPort
USERID EHPort
DOMAIN ENVHRT
LDOMAIN ENVHRT
FULLNAME EH Port
COMMENT Laptop Dep portable
HOMESHR \\ehserv\Public
HOSTNAME CALLA
PRIV USER
PWAGE 491
MAXPWAGE 0
PRIMARYGROUP Domain Users
LSERVER \\EHSERV
LDRIVE \\EHSERV\NETLOGON\
Press any Key to continue
This doubly confuses me. Apparently the information is there. I wonder why the information is reported on other workstations and not on the XP one? I am correct that everything looks OK here?

Glen,
Is this information snap from the XP Workstation?
When you run this script do all of the @macros report results?
Thanks,
Kent

The scrtipt run on the host XP system...
I just discovered that KiXtart is reporting the full host name as:
CALLA not as expected CALLA.ucdavis.edu
The domain name is missing and that is causing the error I believe because I parce it with
$nlet=Instr($fhname,".")-1 ;find length of first part.
Substr($fhname,1,$nlet) to define the short host name.
I don't see how to configure the XP system to report the domain yet. It using DHCP like all other Win98. Except in Win98 there is a place to define the domain.
Thanks for your comments. They help a lot.

I also see that ipconfig is reporting the suffix domain name:
$fhname="@hostname"
?"Full Host Name= "$fhname
$shname=Substr($fhname,1,$nlet)
?"short host name= "$shname
Full Host Name= CALLA
short host name=
C:\Temp>ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : ucdavis.edu.
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : etc..
Not sure what is missing for XP not to send back the full name as CALLA.ucdavis.edu???

I'll try installing netbeui on the XP and see what happens. I'll let you know.

Adding netbeui to the XP system didn't fix it.
Something fundamentally different about XP I think. I is really built for Active Directory.
