Jeff,
Sounds like you understand it.
DNS is coming on the 400, until then you either run it on a UNIX or NT
box or maintain each hosts table.
Your original post mentioned having an address assigned when you
connect to the internet, so I assume you are connecting to an outside
ISP. No easy fix here.
Since you are using Win95, rather then changing the settings and
rebooting
every time you need to change connections. You may find it easier to
create a second profile with the other configuration. You would still
need
to reboot, but you would just need to pick the profile to use rather
than
mucking with the settings every time.
Just an idea.
