At working I have a Virtual Server image Mapped to a Portable HD which I take around diffrent machines and install a copy onto that host machine, however with doing this I alway have to start the Image up on each machine and configure the Ip and computer name of each one so I do not get any conflicts, which can be very impractical for me.
What I'm asking is, is there anyway of getting the virtual pc to easily and quickly find the machine name that it's hosted on? as then i could set up a script that will automatically assign the right IP and Computer Name.
I know I could achive this by using loopbacks but the setting up of a loopback, I mayt as well just configure the IP and Name Manually

Hey guys,

thanks for the time
