If the Microsoft Network Client is configured to use the TCP/IP protocol, and you try to start the SOCKETS.EXE program, the following error message may appear:
This message appears because SOCKETS is looking for a host name in the TCPUTILS.INI file. To run SOCKETS, manually enter a host name.
In the TCPUTILS.INI file, add the following line to the [tcpglobal] section:
hostname=<hostname>
where <hostname> is a valid host name (but any value will allow SOCKETS.EXE to start).
