Re: Local host name in iPhone?

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Paul,

Have the iPhones got exactly the same name in their iTunes as the 'Client ID' 
name on the iPhone?

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronni, 


Thank for the info. I followed the naming setup on an iPhone and similarly on 
an iPod, but the names have yet to show up as such on my modem, unlike the 
hostnames on ethernet iMacs and wireless iBooks.

To set a hostname for your iPhone. 
1. On your iPhone tap the Settings app. 
2. Then go to Network. 
3. Then choose your named network and hit the > button. 
4. Then look at your DHCP data fields (these should be filled out with various 
numbers for IP address and such) and at the bottom is 'Client ID'. 
5. You can touch this field and edit the data and put in whatever name you like 
(i.e.,: ‘Ronni’s iPhone’). 
6. Then hit Renew Lease. Now go back to your router and look at the DHCP client 
list (hit refresh just to be sure its current). 

Now your iPhone's name (or whatever text your Client ID says) shows up on the 
router.

Re: Local host name in iPhone?

[Alexander Hartner]

Hi all,

I do the following on my network. First I restrict all WIFI access by MAC 
address. This prevents un-authorised devices from joining even if they managed 
to obtain my WAP key. This also allows me to reserver specific IP addresses for 
certain devices, rather then just letting DHCP assign one form a pool. Since I 
effectively set the IP address on the router and can now map that name on my 
local DNS server to any hostname I like.

Hi Paul,

I did this to set my iPhone's hostname.

To set a hostname for your iPhone.  
1. On your iPhone tap the Settings app. 
2. Then go to Network. 
3. Then choose your named network and hit the > button. 
4. Then look at your DHCP data fields (these should be filled out with various 
numbers for IP address and such) and at the bottom is 'Client ID'. 
5. You can touch this field and edit the data and put in whatever name you like 
(i.e.,: ‘Ronni’s iPhone’). 
6. Then hit Renew Lease. Now go back to your router and look at the DHCP client 
list (hit refresh just to be sure its current). 

Now your iPhone's name (or whatever text your Client ID says) shows up on the 
router.

Cheers,
Ronni

Local host name in iPhone?

[Paul Weaver]

All the Mac computers in our house have a single word  'local host name'  in 
OSX so they can be readily identified on my modem screen when they are online, 
either by ethernet or the modem's wireless connection.  Can iPhones be 
allocated a local host name in a similar way?  They connect readily to our 
wireless modem (with a password).

Thanks
