Windows systems: The IP addresses and system names of computers on the network are
maintained in a
hosts file that is similar to the file used in the UNIX example above. On
Windows, the hosts file is normally located in the following directory path:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\
Once you locate the hosts file, open it for editing and add the Freeway server names and
addresses. Refer to the UNIX example above. You will need Administrator privileges to
edit the
hosts file
OpenVMS systems: Enter HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS and use the SET HOST
command to add the name and IP address of the Freeway server. This is equivalent to
maintaining the
hosts file on UNIX systems. Use double quotes (“”) around the server
name to keep it from defaulting to all capital letters. The following example adds the
Freeway server name “fwy07” with IP address 192.168.45.7:
TCPIP> set host “fwy07” /address=192.168.45.7
You can use the /alias option to add an additional host name to the same IP address as
in the following example:
TCPIP> set host “fwy06” /address=192.168.45.6 /alias=“freeway_0”
