I have a dash in the name of my W-95 machine..  'pent200-w95'
I would say I've also had dashes in I-Net addresses but cant think of one at 
the moment..
If it was in W-95, I would say you need an entry in the DNS or WINS file (one 
of them anyway)..  
I azzume you set up IP address's on each machine..  Try pinging the other 
machine..  If it replies, they can talk to each other..  If that works, try 
the other machines IP address instead of the machine name..  No HTTP// (or 
with Netscrape/2 you may have to eggsperiment)  :}
Maybe someone here can tell me what file the machine names should be in??  It 
would be HOSTS in a Windy system..
Someday I gota find time to get Warp-4's network working..  :}
Hope this helpz
