What a silly app... the right test is to see if the request came in through 127.0.0.1 (al la localhost loopback) and distrust the rest :) ipconfig should tell you your IP, maybe your name on win32. Try ifconfig on Mac. Then nslookup {your ip} to see if it is known, otherwise your server's 'name' is really it's IP.
