Re: TCP/IP Catch-22?

There is no reason why every PC connecting to the 400 would have
to have a host table entry on the 400.
The connection will work fine without it.

If there is a hosttable entry for a PC and you run netstat *cnn putting a 5
next to the connection to see details, the 400 will show you the name 
of the PC instead of just the IP address.
