GDotNetComputerName: String;
Description

GDotNetComputerName is a global string variable that represents the mechanism used to provide the name for the local computer system on the .Net platform. On the .Net platform, the computer name is available in System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.ComputerName. Indy does not wish to link to the System.Windows.Forms namespace, so the name is provided using the global application variable. 

GDotNetComputerName is used in IndyComputerName. 

The only known use for this value (currently) is in NTLM and SSPI authentication code.
