RE: Client Access Question

[pytel@xxxxxxxxxx]

IP address field is there in case you do not have a DNS. If you have DNS, ignore
it - it is not used. IP address will be always resolved from DNS.
BTW, I always thought that favourite choice for intranets is 192.x.x.x :-)

Subject:  RE: Client Access Question





I would like to know how to set up client access using the system name and
resolving to the IP address.  After I enter the system name I am prompted
for the TCP/IP address.  This is actually prefilled for me if the system
name is in my local hosts file and blank if not.  Does this mean changing
the host table would automatically update the IP address specified here?  I
may need this in the near future as we are connecting our LAN to others.  So
far a different address scheme and hopefully stays that way.  It seems that
everyone has their intra-net as 10.x.x.x

Consider a naming convention for your system that is independat of the IP
number.  Our AS/400 is named Mars, the unix box is Sun, the dial-in box is
Moon, etc.  Then we use the tables to point where ever we want.  Changes
in IP number are no longer a major issue.   Since you are going to
renumber  anyway, what an ideal time to make the shift.

An example would be  "midrange.com"  David can take the mailing list
anyplace he wants but we'll all still find it without him coming out to
our place and fixing our host tables, right?
