Re: Mapping drive on Vista to V5R3

Once you got your HOST file set, then were you able to assign your iSeries a
Relational Database name? If so, then go to your Vista - Search - Searching
Computers - type in your iSeries system name, for my system that I setup it
was QS105F7XX where the Q is necessary before the Serial number of the
system.

But I hope I gave you some ideas what direction you need to go. Others may
have a simpler way.

Many Thanks Guillermo. I have done this. But I cannot access my
network
files on either a V5R3 or a V5R1 machine using Vista. I would
appreciate
any help. I reposted this problme on midrange-l at David's request and
it
might be better to post any responses there.

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

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.
