Registration Server for this network.

regserv.dat under this pathname where <winnt path> is the path
to the Windows files:
<winnt path>\system32\drivers\etc\regserv.dat
In Windows 95/98 systems you will find regserv.dat under this
pathname where < win95/98 path> is the path to the Windows files:
<win95/98 path>\system\regserv.dat

Windows files:
<winnt path>\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
In Windows 95/98 systems you will find the hosts file under this
pathname where < win95/98 path> is the path to the Windows files:

Managing Servers Over the Network
HP recommends that all servers and clients that manage
integrated HP NetRAID controllers or HP NetRAID-1M
or 2M adapters over the network have the same hosts
file content. This prevents problems in resolving server
names and addresses.
