Re: NET8 TCP/IP connection invokes phone dialer--why?

Kevin:

You hit the nail on the head. I checked the hosts.sam and lmhosts.sam files--no entry for my server name. So in the Net8 Easy Config I changed the alias so it specifies the server's TCP/IP address instead of the name. Worked first time out. Thanks!
