As far as I know, the HOSTS file in Win95 would never be used by the
AS/400. So nothing from _that_ file would appear in NETSTAT. Now the
addresses in the HOSTS file on the 400 maybe could be used for this, but my
guess is that, since the connection is based on dotted-decimal address and
not the character-type names, that's all that gets reported. I've not
looked at NETSTAT on a UNIX box for a long time, but that's the original
upon which the AS400 version is based.

Lots of words with no meaning??  >8^)
