    Netware 5.0 and DNS

    We run DNS on Netware 5.0. I'm running V4R4 of OS/400. I tell the 400 to use the Netware 5.0 DNS. Anything I do on the 400 that would use the DNS fails. A ping by host name returns 'unknown host'. The same ping from a DOS prompt is fine. IBM has looked at it and says everything is okay, the DNS is not responding. Has anyone come across this situation? Thanks.

    What happens when you ping the DNS server by IP address from the AS/400?

        I suggest you review your domain information and host tables. To view the domain info, type CFGTCP and select option 12 (Change TCP/IP domain information). You can also use option 10 to view the host table entries.

          Have gone through that and it checks out fine. Thanks. Larry

            I think you have to add the Dns Server name with its IP address in the Host table entry in your CFGTCP option 10. Hope it works this time... Ramesh

              Just a guess, did you enter the DNS url or IP address to the 400. If you entered the URL you will also have to enter it in the Host table John

                  I've been working with the AS/400 DNS lately... When you set up option 12 under CFGTCP, did you enter an IP address under the Domain name server? Is the host name search priority set to *REMOTE? Here's mine: Host name . . . . . . . . . . . 'myas400' Domain name . . . . . . . . . . 'mycompany.com' Host name search priority . . . *REMOTE *REMOTE, *LOCAL, *SAME Domain name server: Internet address . . . . . . . '10.10.208.90' '10.10.208.91' I'm not sure if you need to stop and start TCP/IP after making these changes - most of these don't require a restart. - Bob Leroux

                    John and Bob thanks for your input. Have compared my configuration with your example and tried your suggestions. Still no luck. Thanks again. Larry
