HOSTS.IPX

The HOSTS.IPX file appears in the root directory of your WinNT OpenLink installation. The HOSTS.IPX file is used to determine the hostname for a given MAC address. Moreover, the file is necessary, if you want to create hostname-based mapping rules in an SPX environment. The HOSTS.IPX file takes the
following form:

# 
# hosts.ipx 
# 
# Sample host file for IPX/SPX support 
# 
# Network MacAddress hostname aliases .. 
# 
#00009988.000000000001 LOCALHOST MYMACHINE
