is the new DNS host name your server will have.

To retrieve a server IP address using the DNS naming feature, use a system connected to the same
network, open a DOS command prompt, and then type nslookup {server name}. (For
example, nslookup {CBQ123456}.)

Depending on your DNS server configuration, it might take up to 45 minutes for the DNS to register
a server name. For more DNS options in LO100, see
