getting the host name from kernel

NTDEV
1

my driver needs to return the host name as an answer to a question it gets on the network.

Is there an api in the kernel that can help him do that, or do I need to add some user mode code? (which is very difficult)

thanks
Tzachi

You could dig it out of the registry…

Depends on the platform…

On Vista and later the kernel-mode IP Helper API may be helpful.
