Yes the AS/400 can appear in the lmhosts file. However it is better if you use something called a DNS or Domain Name Server. What this does is store the names and the related IP addresses in a central location instead of the hosts file on each client and server in your organization. Speaking as one who spent a little time in here last weekend due to the fun of changing the IP address of a few servers, using a DNS is a much better solution than host table entries. You can configure an Iseries, wintel solution, Eunuch's server, or a host of other solutions to be your Domain Name Server. The 400 will appear in the network neighborhood IF you have NetServer configured first. I prefer the operations navigator way to configure this. Which is: 1) Open up Operations Navigator on your PC. 2) Open up your server 3) Select Network 4) Select Servers 5) Select TCPIP 6) Find AS/400 NetServer 7) Right click, select properties and verify that. 8) Double click, and add the directories the PC wants access to 9) Make sure it is started, if not, then right click and start it. However if you love to type in hex codes you may want to try here: http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/netserver/fastpath.htm Now, on occasion, netserver gets a little quirky and I've been known to use the IP address instead of the server name.

Please correct/clarify. A windows pc uses an LMHOSTS file to locate another pc on a remote lan? The rcd layout of the LMHOSTS file is pc name and its ip addr ? With the LMHOST file set, the network neighborhood of the pc will show all the pc's on the local lan and all the reachable remote systems in the LMHOSTS file? A file path name in the form: "\\SystemName\directory\file.ext" is spcfd to have the "CopyFile" win32 api or vb equivalent copy a file from one system to another? Now my questions: Can an as400 be spcfd as an entry in the LMHOSTS file of the windows pc? If it is, will it show up in the network neighborhood of the pc? Can the as400 system name be the target or source of the CopyFile run on the windows pc?
