How to find your computer name
Click here to find out your computer name. We have an internal site (http://mypc) that will show you your computer's name and IP address.
IP Addresses can change on a daily basis. It is best to provide your computer name when contacting the OIT Help Desk unless an IP address is specifically requested.
If the webpage is unable to determine your computer name then you will need to use the following instructions.
Windows Instructions
- On the Windows Desktop, right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties"
- In the System Properties window, select the "Computer Name" tab
- Take note of the full computer name
