>The following procedures are optional. Incorrect values may cause erratic
behavior. If you're not sure, it's probably better to leave them blank,
unchecked and/or un-selected. Remove any information from those fields, if
necessary. As far as I know, there is no way to use the TCP/IP dialogs to
tell the system not to use a previously selected alternate "Hosts" file.
If you know, I would be interested.</P

With the item unchecked, the TCP/IP protocol stacks are always loaded and
available for use. If checked, the TCP/IP stacks are automatically loaded
when needed and un-loaded when not. It's the loading and unloading process
that can cause your machine's memory to become fragmented.</P

Linux box (192.168.0.1) in the dialog box that pops up. (This is only an

don't see "replies" to your PINGs, please verify your network configuration.</P

so that you can use the hostnames of the machines on your LAN. The file may
or may not already exist in your System Folder. If so, it should contain some
(commented-out) sample entries which you can modify according to your needs.
If not, you can get a copy of the file from a system running MacTCP, or just
create your own (it follows a subset of the Unix <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>/etc/hosts</TT
>
file format, described on RFC1035). Once you've created the file, open the
