RE: Ethernet & Token ring w/CA

Our LAN/WAN uses DNS and DHCP from NT servers.  None of the PC's in the
office have a *host*.* file.  The AS/400's are all found from the DNS.  The
AS/400's have host tables but that is to associate as400a1.appn.sna.ibm.com
type names with an address.  From anywhere on the network, I can ping
as400a1 and get a hit.  I can also ping as400a1.serx.com and get a hit but I
can't ping as400a1.appn.sna.ibm.com except from an AS/400 that has this name
in the host table.

                You can create a new entry in your hosts file that points to
the Ethernet
                address.  I don't think the system name is used for any more
than DNS.
