I've posted something about this previously, but got no response,
and decided to post part of it again, hoping that I might get a 
response.  I am looking to just be able to FTP to my own machine.
When I FTP to my own machine name, I get:
   FTP: Host name lookup failure

Unfortunately, I do not have an ethernet board in my machine.  Do
I need an ethernet board, even though I won't be communicating
to any other machine, or is it something else??

	Any help would be greatly appreciated...
        Please send responses to: DCC@VAXSAR.VASSAR.EDU
	Thanks...
