Ok... so your machine gets to identity in 3 reversions (lh->ip->lh->ip)

Which flavor OS, doug?

Useful to know, Randy, thanks!  Windows NT and prior can be trivially
configured for the right name stuff; it's 2000 that gets prickly.

I need to iterate through the local name, the flipflop (that middle case
on my system example, 'v505') and the absolute name.

Is there an option to t/TEST to pass the local machine name?
