subject: Hostname.exe?

All,
I've got a Warp 4.0 peer-to-peer setup running just peachy.
TCP/IP, NETBIOS and also an Internet connection.  Vmodem
too if it matters.
My question:  What do I have to do to get the HOSTNAME.EXE
program to return my computername?  I had this working at
one point.  Don't know why it quit working.
Here's a coupla lines from my IBMLAN.INI...
  wrkservices = MESSENGER,PEER
  Computername = CASINO
  Domain = IBMPEERS
My two computer names are WILDCARD (172.22.1.2) and CASINO
(172.22.1.1).
SET HOSTNAME=CASINO and WILDCARD was automatically put into
my CONFIG.SYS by something I did but HOSTNAME.EXE still
doesn't work.
