In order to see the remote host name the AS/400 must be able to resolve
the IP address to a host name (reverse DNS lookup) either using the
configured remote (domain) name server or an entry in the TCP/IP host
table.  If you are not using a DNS, the WIN95 host file needs to have
an entry for the AS/400 and the AS/400 host table needs an entry for
the WIN95 machine.

Hope this helps,
