What name services TCP/IP applications use is implementation
dependent.  Our PC/TCP can use host tables, domain name servers and
IEN-116 name servers, but I'm not sure how common that is. I've heard
some packages require particular name servers, but only using hosts
files seems unduly restrictive. It's worth checking your software's
configuration information, to see if there is an option you are not
using, or posting again with information about who's TCP/IP you have.
