Hosts Table
Like a name service, the hosts table translates names to IP addresses and vice versa. However, the hosts table is only used by the NETServer itself, rather than the entire network. If you are not using a name service and you want to use names rather than IP addresses, you must first create host table entries for all the hosts you want to refer to.
