But the Linux server doesn't *know* that basement is the hostname of the
Win95 client unless you tell it. The easiest way is with an entry in
/etc/hosts, of the following form (replace the Ip address with the one for
the Win95 box)
192.168.23.66 basement Basement

This looks okay.

Clarify? If you run whatever telnet app you use on the Win95 host and enter
telnet 207.38.245.178
you don't connect?
What error response do you get? Do you have networking set up properly on
the Win95 host? Do you have a second Linux host you can use to test
connectivity?
Is it true that you cannot *ping* the Win95 host from the Linux host by IP
*number* (whatever it is)? What error do you get?
