Description

The LocalAddrName property is a character vector that specifies the host name of your computer. It may be useful when you have more than one network adapter (perhaps an Ethernet adapter and a token ring adapter) and you wish to avoid hard-coding the IP address.

Note that you may use either LocalAddr or LocalAddrName to identify the local computer. If you specify both properties, the value of LocalAddrName will be ignored.

LocalAddrName may only be specified by a server TCPSocket. Furthermore, it must be specified in the ⎕WC statement that creates the TCPSocket object and it may not subsequently be changed using ⎕WS.

When the specified host name has been resolved to an IP address, the TCPSocket will generate a TCPGotAddr event and update the value of LocalAddr accordingly.

For a client TCPSocket, you may not specify LocalAddrName and ⎕WG returns an empty character vector.
