Re: Navigator for i vrs. System i Navigator

[Jim Essinger <dilbernator@xxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

My host table entry of 10.2.1.7 PROD720.wps-inc.com matches the host name
PROD720 and domain name wsp-inc.com and are the first entry in the list.  I
had issues a few months ago making it work until I use the full
http://prod720.wps-inc.com:2001 address to access the navigator piece.  Now
FF just gives me no love.

Jim
