Been playing with web stuff since yesterday...
I'm running the Apache server on the Linux box, and have started to look at
some of the html doc files with a browser. I was pleased to find that it was
no big deal to fire up the w95 box and use IE on there to do the same, too.
However, I'm running into some kind of a snag with trying it from the OS/2
box using Netscape. I can type in http://(IP number)/index.html and get the
page across and displayed just fine. But when I type in http://(machine
name)/index.html, it sits there with the status line on the bottom saying
"Connnect: Looking up host: (machine name)..." and isn't apparently doing a
damn thing.
Do I need a "hosts" file or something similar on the OS/2 box? My previous
messing around with TCP/IP stuff (mostly ftp) has been all using numbers up
until this point.
