[Dxbase] DX Clusters/Hosts files

Sat Jan 8 14:02:00 EST 2005

The Hosts file that DXB uses...has no extension
in Explorer, it will be
HOSTS
no period bak, or txt etc.
The best way is to use the built in Modify Host File applet that can be found under the 
File Menu Command
This will find or create the correct file for you
Can't remember but in 98 it should be Windows/System32/Drivers/Etc
I think, been a long time since used that version.

Subject: [Dxbase] DX Clusters/Hosts files
I am a new user trying to set up the sytem to allow me to access DX clusters. Here
 is the situation......
 * In the Internet tab the IP Hosts window has one listing/ message " Could not
 open PKTCMDS.TXT"
 * In my system (Widow 98) there are eight (8) Hosts files as listed below . Each one 
contains many
> other files.

 Hosts.sam
 LMHosts.sam
 Hosts.001
 Hosts.002
 LMHosts.002
 Hosts.dxb25.bak
 Hosts.dxb25.bak ..........recent
 When I look directly at the DX base host file it seems to contain the same files as the 
ones I have listed above, e.g. excel, explorer, MS Access, MS Backup etc. etc. I couldn't 
tell what to copy to paste to one of my Hosts files and which of my Hosts file to use.
Can anyone help?
