Hi James,
Both your links point to the same resource (the first hit in google).
However, this does not work for me(on Windows):
<!-- Capture the computer name in a cross-platform manner -->
<property name="env.COMPUTERNAME" value="${env.HOSTNAME}"/>
<property file="${env.COMPUTERNAME}.properties"/>
<property file="build.properties" />
<echo>${env.COMPUTERNAME}</echo>
[echo] ${env.HOSTNAME}
Cheers
Rakesh

Google is your friend.
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=ant+computername+hostname
First link:

I would expect something like this to work on Windows and Solaris, but I use
Linux rather than Solaris.
