#define INFO_BUFFER_SIZE 32767 LPSTR computerName = new char(50); dw = INFO_BUFFER_SIZE; GetComputerName(computerName,&dw);

This function does not retrieve the host name. It uses the host name to retrieve host information such as IP address.

What's wrong with using the system-defined MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH?
