Coming from the "I probably let my fingers go faster than my brain"
department I may have to hedge a bit on my original reply. The problem
with the hosts file should solve the error you were getting in your log
that said:

>Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host. localhost
>sending a packet of len 1 to (127.0.0.1) on port 137 of type DGRAM

I think we were getting a "Network is busy" message or something along
those lines on the client. Your error message on the client is much
different.

All I did was copy the HOSTSAMP.NET.SYS file to HOSTS.NET.SYS because id
did not yet exist. The error went away and we could start browsing the
machine.

OS is 5.5
Client is Win95

Interestingly enough we have two different Win95 machines that we tested
on. One works very well in bringing files off of the HP 3000 and viewing
them. On the other, I try to open a text file with Wordpad/MSWrite (or
anything else for that matter) and after it loads about 60% of the file
the whole machine locks up and needs to be rebooted.

I just love PCs!   :(
