No, you're not.  I am <g>.  It was the PC's IP address.

I'm going to have to RTFM, but I've got too many other things going to
get there yet.  My understanding is the AS/400 cannot be a DNS. 
Therefore I won't (can't) have one.  I created a HOSTS file on my PC and
entered host tables entries on the AS/400.  My understanding is since I
don't have a DNS, I must maintain this hosts table and identical HOSTS
files on each PC in our office.
