RE: CA Express and Life Certainties (A question appears at the end)

We have had similar problems with customers hooking up even remotely, it has
always come
down to one easy thing, on the PC that you are running CAE, make sure that
the HOSTS
file (no extension) exists and has entries for each AS/400 you are
attempting to connect
to.  Our NT expert does not understand why it is needed, neither do I, but
it works -

This has happened to us on PC's running W95/W98/NTworkstation.

<<SNIP>>
I also know that, after adding a HOSTS entry to my NT machine, I can PING
and
TELNET to the remote customer under DOS.  I can also PING and TELNET to the
remote customer via a session on our local hosting AS/400.  However, I
_CANNOT_ seem to connect to the remote customer using _ANY_ settings under
CAE.  Rumba (that we're replacing) on our old system is no problem.  The old
version of NetSoft on my laptop is no problem.  CAE _IS_ a problem.

Can anyone help me here?
