Re: Mapping drive on Vista to V5R3

anyway, the HOSTS file is and locate in the same way of win xp.

you must find a file named HOSTS without extension (yes, thanx the joke to
MS) in the windows etc directory.
(hosts file is usually C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts)
(but your win directory would be other)
you will be sure you save the file WITHOUT EXTENSION, please be carefull if
you use notepad.exe.

then you can put here your lines as
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.4 myAs400

I have seen problems in the archives on this but I haven't been able to

get

started because I can't find the "hosts" file and don't know what the
equivalent function is in Vista to translate URL to IP.

This would be best posted to MIDRANGE-L (

anything

to do with WEB programming.
