Hostname=> FQDN ?

smallhagrid
Hello.
I managed to get connected - the setup wizard started - and it wants a 'hostname'.

So, I take a look and see in the docs that a FQDN is recommended...and now I fall down again...maybe[:S].

My knee-jerk idea was just to fill that with 'firewall' - BUT=> I do have a DynDNS account I'll want to use later that is like 'myname.webhop.net' and the home network is not domain-based, it is just a workgroup called...HOME [:D]!

So - I filled that with 'firewall.myname.webhop.net' =>
Hopefully that will be OK, and if not - would someone please recommend what might be better as a hostname, please ?

Referring to Bob's reply[H] in the posting I 'cleaned':
What is the advantage, please, to using the 30-day limited license over adding in the home license which I have ?

Thanks !

    Oh dear:
    If I recall correctly, this is a new glitch in the wizard - it should work either way.

    Cheers - Bob


    I think I am now terminally confused [:O]!!!

    Does your reply refer to using a FQDN, or to deliberately omitting one's license when asked by the wizard so it will actually complete [:S]?

    Thanks.
