	I have a Win95 and a FreeBSD 2.2.2 machine networked together.  I use
the FreeBSD machine to connect to my ISP (its a dialup connection).
So far, I have managed to set this small network up so it works somewhat
accetably.  I am able to telnet from the Win95 machine to the FreeBSD 
machine, but not the other way around.  Also, when telnetting to the FreeBSD
machine from the Win95 machine I have to specify the (local network) IP
address of the FreeBSD machine, I cannot use the name of the FreeBSD machine.
	So, my question is this:

	1. How can I set things up so I can specify the name of my FreeBSD
	   machine when telnetting to it from my Win95 machine?



	Here is a copy of my /etc/hosts file from the FreeBSD machine if that
will help:

127.0.0.1               localhost jtroy.async.vt.edu
10.0.2.2                jtroy           #FreeBSD machine
10.0.2.1                laura           #Win95 machine



Thanks,
