Hello all.  

Here's a question that I simply can't figure out...

I'd like to connect my NeXTstation to a non-netinfo network, so I would like to use the normal networking files such as /etc/hosts and /.rhosts, etc...

I thought that I flicked the non-netinfo button on the Net-info manager, and rebooted.  However, when the system comes back to life, it still gets all of this hosts info and other information from the net-info files.  When I doubled ckecked net-info manager, it was still set for non-Net-info network.  Am I missing something?

Could somebody please help me I'm going nuts!

michael...
