Hi Wayne:

Nothing is jumping out concerning the settings. I did notice that
the client and server appear to be on separate domains. LECO_Roanoke
and LECO. Are these domains trusted? Also, were you able to
successfully ping Roanoke_Server from the client?

You can also try doing a lookup using nslookup. I think Win95 has
this utility. If so from the command line you can try:

example:
C:\>nslookup
Default Server: sundev1.eng
Address: 10.11.222.2

> set type=a
> 10.11.20.99
Server: sundev1.eng
Address: 10.11.222.2

Name: dcrea.eng
Address: 10.11.20.99

> exit

C:\>

Here I started nslookup, which is our DNS / WINS server at IP
10.11.222.2. I then asked for resolution on the IP address
10.11.20.99 which is my localhost. It resolved the lookup and gave
me the localhost name of dcrea.eng and my localhost IP. You can use
this to see if the DNS / WINS can perform the gethostbyname lookup.
If it fails then you need to have your DNS / WINS configurtion
corrected.
