hosts file is located at C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts ... assuming your W2K is installed to C:\
note, also check that your dns is configured correctly for all internal dns references.
Correctly configuring dns is VERY IMPORTANT with w2k.
and there can be 'internal' dns as well as 'gateway' dns.
Gateway is controlled via Network and Dial-up Settings.
Internal (for web-browsing only, really) is controlled via Internet Control Panel.
(see Connections tab, LAN Settings, Advanced Proxy Server, Exceptions...)
yes, hosts file can be used to simplify all of this, but this file is 3rd or 4th in the 'use' order.

Ok, I've almost got it all working! First of all I went into setup etc and clean it all out and started over with only Penguin's numbers in it. That was the problem. I had two different numbers in it.
Now I can ping both ways without problems. I can also see my web site on Opus.
BUTTTT the problem now is that I have to input the address as
192.168.17.41/~hatridge/bulletin/
instead of
Opus.epost.de/~hatridge/bulletin/
as it should be. I think that the problem now is that I don't have a "hosts" file on Penguin like I do on Opus. Is there a hosts file in W$2K? What do I do to set this up?
Thanks
