Hi Roy,

 RJT> Do I need a "hosts" file or something similar on the OS/2 box?

Yep, without a DNS as reference you need to provide manual mapping of names to 
IP addresses. Go into the TCP/IP Configuration utility and select the
HOSTNAMES Tab. Go to PAGE 2 of HOSTNAMES, and ADD an entry for the host you
wish to contact. Make sure the "Look though HOSTS list before going to
nameserver box is checked, save that and you should be away.

Cheers...............pk.
