Re: NETSTAT

[Jim Blizard <jimb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The only way the AS will see a host name for a remote host is if it has a 
method of crossing the remote hosts IP address to a host name.  This can 
happen 1 of two ways.  The remote host is in the HOSTS file on the AS/400 
or there is a DNS entry for it in a DNS server about which the AS/400 knows.
