Jeff,

You don't need the address of each PC in each HOSTS table - just the
local PC and the AS/400 (unless you want to talk pc-pc). The AS/400
HOSTS table needs an entry for each PC. It's not too bad. It will be
nice to get on V4 and get back to DHCP though. I wrote a program that
configures a PC for C/A in a second or so. It generates a 4 line HOSTS
table on each PC and a registry import file, copies a couple of files to
the desk top and bingo. Done. I still need to add the AS/400 HOSTS entry
by hand though.
