OK... So don't you think I would have tried MAN first... IF it was installed on this server, not everyone installs MAN pages because of space restrictions..

I am a little frustrated because MAN seems to be the only intelligent thing you have to say.. Back in the 80's when I used forums every day I gladly helped people and they gladly helped me. But then again I guess it is not the 80's and no one cares to help people.

I know I am missing changing one file because when I do a netstat -in I receive the following:

net1 192.168.1 192.168.1.200 (old address) and then the packt info.. So what did I miss..

I have changed the /etc/hosts file the nbconf file.. I know I am missing one just can't find it/remember..

Can you provide the SCO release information? Are you running OpenServer5, OpenServer6, or UNIXWARE? Details such as these will help.
Some earlier versions of OpenServer5 had a little problem with changing the IP which might give you grief, but no need to go into that if you are running a different flavor.

All the man pages may be accessed on line, eg:
