Re: AS/400 Windows XP Pro

["Adam Lang" <aalang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to really disagree with that.

I have a name for the as/400 on my dns server and all CAE installs reference
the DNS name and not the IP address.

For anything, you shuold always use a DNS name and not an IP address.

Also, as a general rule, HOSTS files are bad (and setting up a DNS server is
very negligible)

I assume he is referign to network browsing via Netserver.  Are all
computers setup to view the same workgroup?
