<h3 id="static">PC client LMHOSTS static configuration files</h3>
<p><span class="bold">Connecting your PC Client with LMHOSTS</span></p>
<p>PC client operating systems can provide static configuration files that
map server system names to TCP/IP addresses. These files are typically more
difficult to manage than a solution that involves more centralized control
(for example, a DNS or WINS server). This difficulty results because your
network administrator must configure each PC client individually. Static configuration
files are very useful, however, in large, distributed networks. In this environment,
clients and servers exist in different subnets (network segments) and possibly
different workgroups (domains). Static configuration files help clients locate
servers.</p>
<p>All PC clients supported by iSeries NetServer&trade; provide the <tt class="xph">LMHOSTS</tt> file
that can map server system names to IP addresses. The <tt class="xph">LMHOSTS</tt> file
contains IP addresses and server system names. You can use these files to
map the IP address for both the iSeries server and iSeries NetServer for clients. Mapping
the IP address for both iSeries and iSeries NetServer allows clients to find the iSeries server
and iSeries NetServer in a large, distributed network environment.</p>
<p>You may also add an entry into the <tt class="xph">LMHOSTS</tt> file that
points to a <tt class="xph">LMHOSTS</tt> file that is administered centrally on the iSeries
server. By pointing all clients to the central file on the iSeries server, you
need to maintain only one <tt class="xph">LMHOSTS</tt> file for the network.</p>
<p>You can find more information about <tt class="xph">LMHOSTS</tt> files in the sample <tt class="xph">LMHOSTS</tt> file that is provided with your Windows operating system. Additional
information is available in your operating system documentation.</p>
<p><span class="bold">Configuring your PC Client with LMHOSTS</span></p>
<p><span class="bold">If you are using the <tt class="xph">LMHOSTS</tt> file</span>, then
you must configure <tt class="xph">LMHOSTS</tt> with the system name and IP address
for iSeries NetServer to ensure client connectivity. To add a preloaded entry to the <tt class="xph">LMHOSTS</tt> file, follow these steps:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Go to the <tt class="xph">\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc</tt> directory.</li>
<li>Add the following entry to the <tt class="xph">LMHOSTS</tt> file:
<pre class="xmp">TCP/IP-address iSeries-NetServer-server-name #PRE
</pre>For example:
<pre class="xmp">10.5.10.1 QNETSERVER #PRE</pre>If the iSeries NetServer is a Logon
Server:
<pre class="xmp">10.5.10.1 QNETSERVER #PRE #DOM:netdomain (netdomain is the domain name that
the Logon Server services).</pre></li></ol>
