I apologize for missing out on the last one. I'm sorry.
But I do have another question. With Win7 how do you set host from on node to the next on the network.? Assume I have privilges on both after looging in.

I'm sorry, Renee, i didn`t quite got it - care to elaborate your question a little further? You mean as the HOSTS file?
Overview and History of TCP/IP Host Names and Name Systems (Page 1 of 2)
In the section that introduces name systems and describes the concepts behind them,
I described an interesting paradox. Even though namesystems aren't
strictly necessary for the functioning of a networking system,
they make using a network so much easier for people that they are considered an essential part of most networks. I think no better evidence of this can be found than the history of name system development in TCP/IP.
Early Use of Host Names on the ARPAnet
In fact, the history of name systems in the TCP/IP protocol suite actually goes back well before TCP and IP were themselves even created! In the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the predecessor of the Internet (the ARPAnet)
was being developed, it used older networking protocolsthat
served the same function that TCP and IP do today. The ARPAnet was very small by today's standard, containing at first only a few machines, called hosts just as TCP/IP machines often are today. The addressing scheme was also very simple: just the combination
of an IMP (computer) number and a port number for
each host.
With only a handful of machines names it was easy to memorize addresses, but as the ARPAnet grew to several dozen machines this became untenable. As early as 1971, it was apparent to the engineers
designing the ARPAnet that symbolic names were much easier for everyone to work with than numeric addresses. They began to assign simple host names to
each of the devices on the network. Each sitemanaged its
own host table that listed the mappings of names to addresses.
The First ARPAnet Name System: Host Name Lists
Naturally, the ARPAnet engineers immediately recognized the dangers of having each site maintain a list of possibly inconsistent host names. Since the internetwork was just a small “club” at this
point, they used the RFC process itself to document standard host name to address mappings. RFC 226, Standardization Of Host Mnemonics, is the first RFC I could find showing how host names were assigned.
It was published on September 20, 1971.
This initial name system was about as manual as a system could be. As additions and changes were made to the network, the list of host names was updated in a new RFC, leading to a series of RFCs being
published in the 1970s. Each host administrator still maintained his or her own host table, which was updated when a new RFC was published. During this time, the structure of host names was still under discussion and changes were made to just about every aspect
of the name system as new ideas were explored and refined.
This worked fine while the ARPAnet was very small, but had many problems. One was that it was extremely slow in responding to network modifications; additions or changes would only be entered into
device tables after a new list was published. Even with the centralized list, there were also still potential consistency issues, if a site manager forgot to update a file or
made a typographical error. These were in addition to the usual limitations of a host-table-based name system.
I am looking for the command via TCPIP to 'set host"

No....Im asking what the command line is to logon to another node when both are on the internet...
