In fact, you can call the systems by any name you wish (easy now, don't let management know about some of your choices, though). Not only that, you can refer to any IP address with any of up to four system names, such as: (excerpts from \windows\hosts file) 10.1.25.1 mainsys as400-ether ethernet big-guy 10.1.26.1 tr as400-token token-ring i-hope-this-works You can use any of the following names to access the .25.1 address: mainsys as400-ether ethernet big-guy The AS/400 does not have knowledge of what system name you used to access it. This is standard TCP/IP fact.
