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, Jesse Troy jtroy@goof.com
