I asked all of the questions because I am not clear what the problem is.
You are asking K95 to
TELNET netcom17
and you are telling me that this is resolving to 0.1.0.6 (or something
similar.) And yet you are telling me that
TELNET netcom17.netcom.com
works. And that Microsoft Telnet is able to telnet to the host if you
only specify "netcom17".
K95 does not perform the DNS search. It simply passes on the request to
gethostbyname() which then returns the IP address. If this IP address
is wrong it should be wrong for Microsoft Telnet as well.
