+======Determine the Zoo Server Name======
+> **Product:** //[[zoo:home|Zoo]]//
+> **Summary:** //Discusses how to determine the name of the system running the Zoo//
+=====Question=====
+I recently bought two copies of Rhino to share among five systems. So, we have installed the Zoo and added the two Rhino licenses to it.
+After installing Rhino, I have tried starting it. In the dialog box that appears, I click the **Detect Zoo Server automatically** option and then press the **Test Connectivity** button.
+{{:zoo:zoo_host0.png}}
+But, Rhino just tells me that I cannot detect my Zoo server. What should I do?
+=====Answer=====
+If Rhino cannot automatically detect your Zoo server, because you have not added a "default" Zoo server entry on your company's DNS server, then just manually specify the hostname or IP address of the system running the Zoo.
+If you are not sure what the hostname of the system running the Zoo server is, then use **ZooAdmin** to discover it.
+=====Run ZooAdmin=====
+On the Zoo server, run the Zoo administration utility, or **ZooAdmin.exe**. The title bar of the Zoo administrator window will display the hostname, along with the domain name, of the system on which the Zoo is running.
+For example:
+{{:zoo:zoo_host2.png}}
+In this example, the fully qualified hostname is "zoo.mcneel.com".
