Nicknames are used to identify people. These are not the same as nicknames in real life, but are a short name that can be used to identify you. To avoid difficulties, it is recommended that only one person can use a particular name at a time on a network. By default, Network Assistant uses your Windows logon name as your nickname and you can define up to ten additional nicknames. Additional nicknames are useful when several people use (share) the same copy of Network Assistant.

To select/define a nickname:

Click on the "Nickname" button and select the desired nickname or define the new one.
