Hi, I've created a hosts file from the hosts.sam file.... so it exists. In there localhost is defined, including the other names of the PC's. So the error is there also when a hosts file is defined... :-((((((((((( snif. Tom. I believe that the problem is that medusa's ftp server wants to look up the hostname of the server machine. On Win95 machines which are not connected to a network this fails. I think that this can be fixed by adding an entry in your Win95 hosts file (\windows\hosts) like so: 127.0.0.1 localhost If I recall correctly, I think that a hosts file doesn't exist by default on Win95 machines. But there may be a sample hosts file in \windows\hosts.sam. That said, I think that medusa's ftp server shouldn't have to make this host name lookup. I am looking at implementing a fix/work around for this and submitting it to Sam Rushing. I'll also add this information to the ZServer INSTALL.txt file. -Amos
