Well it has to have a real name somewhere.. Try adding you domain on the end
of it. i.e. polocation1.att.com

The only problem with this is that to set up Netscape, I have to give the
computer DNS name (i.e.: "mail.host.com"), but in this case, the name that I
type into the MS Control Panel applet is not a valid name (i.e.:
"POLOCATION1") - and I cannot "ping" that address.

Any ideas?
