 With NCR's implementation of WIN-TCP you need to have your host name in
the inetinit.cf file.  Although the ifnames are different between the
implementations, I believe you may want to put 'nysnet' in the hostname
field for the above two entries.  Hope this helps, and I tried mailing this
to you but it bounced.
