<div><p>Identify server to the network.</p>
<div class="section"><p> If
you are not using a domain name server, you need to add the <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> server
name with which you want to communicate to the HOSTS file. Also, add the iSeries NetServer™ server
name to the LMHOSTS file if you are relying on iSeries NetServer for file and print serving.
For instructions on updating your LMHOSTS file, see Configure the PC for iSeries NetServer Use.</p>
<div class="p">To
create or change the HOSTS file, do the following: <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The directory in
the following examples could be \winnt\system32 instead of \windows\system32
for some Windows<sup>®</sup> operating systems.</div>
</div>
</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Open a command prompt.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Change to the directory that should contain the HOSTS file, the
directory in which the HOSTS file must remain.</span> For example: <pre>c:\&gt;cd \windows\system32\drivers\etc</pre>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><strong>Optional: </strong><span>If a file named HOSTS already exists in this
directory, skip this step. Create a file named HOSTS by copying the sample
file (supplied by the Windows operating system). </span> The
file is in the same directory and is called <samp class="codeph">hosts.sam</samp>. <div class="p">For
example: <pre>c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc&gt;copy hosts.sam hosts</pre>
</div>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Edit the HOSTS file.</span> For example: <pre>c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc&gt;edit hosts</pre>
<p>Follow
the instructions in the HOSTS sample file to add the IP address and name of
the <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> server to which
you want to connect.</p>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Save the HOSTS file.</span> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> For PC5250, if you do not
use a name server or hosts table, you cannot start the 5250 emulator delivered
with iSeries Access
for Windows.
The left bottom corner of your emulation display indicates a 657 communication
error (<em>Resolving TELNET 5250 server host-domain name</em>).</div>
<p>You
can choose to use a HOSTS file if you have only a few machines using TCP/IP.
This requires that you maintain an up-to-date list on each computer. When
an <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> address changes,
you must change the HOSTS file entry if one exists.</p>
