SYMPTOMS
========

The following error message appears when you try to load a sockets application:

  Sockets error: the value for Key host name not found in TCPUTILS.INI file by
  sockets

CAUSE
=====

Some versions of Microsoft TCPIP software do not properly build the TCPUTILS.INI
file. The [TCPGLOBAL] section should have something similar to the line
hostname=lmhost entry.

RESOLUTION
==========

Manually edit the TCPUTIL.INI file, and add the hostname entry to the TCPGLOBAL
section.

NOTE: The hostname should be the machine name.
