I did it! But... I don't know how or why. I had the latest Host file, in the proper directory. I deleted it. And then made my own, brand new, by copy pasting my Access file of clusters into a new Notepad file and naming it HOSTS. Saving into the proper directory.
When I did this, it DID NOT put any spaces or tab characters between the IP and the #character. Could I have introduced some sort of editing mark that was unseen but appeared as a improper character to the DXBase telnet program? Maybe a formatting character??? Using notepad, that shouldn't have happened but it's the only explanation I can come up with. The DXB Hosts file should be a normal ASCII format isn't it??? ------------------------------------------------------------ The younger the better. ------------------------------------------------------------ Bill H. in Chicagoland [EMAIL PROTECTED]
