Re: Problems with CA 5250 Emulation over TCP/IP

This usually means that the hosts file in the windows directory does not
have the AS/400's IP address.

You will probably find that the machines that did not work do not have a
hosts file. Just use a text editor to create one or copy the file off the
machines that do work.
