[comp.dcom.lans] Hostname resolution for PC/IP

rc@wyse.wyse.com (11/22/89)

I have PC/IP (from Harvard) up and running on my PC and it works great !
However, when I run netwatch, all addresses that are displayed are displayed
in IP numbers format. We do not have any name servers since we are not on the
Internet.

This is OK but it would be really nice if there is some kind of host
resolution conversion.

Is there some kind of program I can run on my UNIX machine to perform
some minimum set of lookup service ? I heard that someone has in fact
written a server on a UNIX machine to do exactly that. If you have
any suggestions, please do let me know.

Thanks in advance !
