SUMMARY
=======
In order to use a Hostname that is numerical (for example, 1 ) you must use
single quotation marks (for example, '1') on the command line and in the HOSTS
file where the name is defined.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Example
-------
If you want to assign the IP Address 44.44.45.1 to the Hostname 3 you would use
the following command when you try to PING the Host:
PING '3'
You also need to make sure the following entry is in the HOSTS file:
44.44.45.1 '3'
If you do not use single quotation marks, TCP/IP-32 interprets the Hostname as an
IP Address and the request will time-out.
