On my French Vista SP1 I called my computer "Device" (without the quotes). The thing that I get when I do "ping Device" is the following:Envoi d'une requte 'ping' sur Device [::1] de ::1 avec 32 octets de donnes:Rponse de ::1: temps<1msRponse de ::1: temps<1msRponse de ::1: temps<1msRponse de ::1: temps<1ms Statistiques Ping pour ::1: Paquets: envoys = 4, reus = 4, perdus = 0 (perte 0%),Dure approximative des boucles en millisecondes : Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Moyenne = 0msPretty strange ... Is there a list of words to avoid using as computer name (some kind of computer name blacklist) ?Thanks.Dev s r'us
