At wits end - problem solved

I have solved the SCO Unix 3.2.4 TCP/IP 2 remote shell problem that
I was having. By using the IP number address, rather than the node name,
everything now works.

Thanks all.

This points to a problem in registering the host.  Deterimine how the
unix site handles host names and get it registered.  Your previous
message noted that you had SunOS on a machine.  I assume that the site
is using NIS (Yellow Pages) for host name resolution.  If you have a
file /etc/resolv.conf, you are likely to be running domain nameservice
as well.

The Xenix box knows about the Unix box, presumably because it has a
local /etc/hosts table.  This seems to be a case of "I know about the
rest of the world - But the rest of the world knows nothing of me".
