If you get 697 you have a host file error, which
routes the IP address to a system name. Without it
your CA is OK (connexion, Op.Nav, Graphical Access)
except your 5250.

Several options :

1 - Copy your old HOST file from the old machine to
the new one. Pay attention to the location, probably
on W98 it should be the same as in W95.

2 - Create a new HOST file. You have a sample file in
HOST.SAM. You also some info in your CA books
regarding 697 and HOST files.
