Re: Mapping drive on Vista to V5R3

["Gilbert Noetzel" <giln@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Once you got your HOST file set, then were you able to assign your iSeries a
Relational Database name? If so, then go to your Vista - Search - Searching
Computers - type in your iSeries system name, for my system that I setup it
was QS105F7XX where the Q is necessary before the Serial number of the
system.  

But I hope I gave you some ideas what direction you need to go.  Others may
have a simpler way.
