the Client Access Help File.

                Unfortunately, this was not true in both cases.  I checked
each machine
                numerous times and they both had the HOSTS file.  In fact, I
just renamed them
                from HOSTS.SAM.  BUT, CA in both cases acted as if it wasn't
there.  As a side
                note, I thought 657 and 658 were the signs of a missing or
incorrect HOSTS
                file, not a blank screen?

                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.
