Having the names in a HOSTS file on a PC isn't going to help the 400
find the name of a host.  The connecting system doesn't tell the 400
anything about it's name - only it's IP address.
If you want to find the system name you need to check your DNS, HOSTS
file on the PC, or try the 'nslookup xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' command (IP
address as the parm) to find the name.  (Note - don't know if that works
on a PC - it does on an RS/6000).
