Obviously, there is some problem, isn't it?

myself with it))

Tell me, you saw the beginning of this message

I think that I have to.
Because if I put on 98, Me, Xp, 2K... in Local Network -> Properties
....-> TCP/IP .... IP address which is on Unix (etc/host (and somwhere
else?!)) stuff works.

BUT if I put new one in TCP/IP on xp, and the SAME (Bill) in etc/hosts
from the unix side (story) - stuff DO NOT works.

MENSA conclusion - something missing!

How come that it works with older address (xp -> unix)

HOW?
(">>So, can someone tell me step-by-step how to cofigure")

As I saw, you do not read the whole message anyway. N'est pas?
Here we talking about Open Server SCO unix Release 3.2v4.2.
This is a pretty oldie guy.


(why the older ">>223.252.254.118 pc019 pc019.default.com" address
works?)

No, I have not anywhere resolv.conf (and with old addresses
works...hm!)
