RE: Windows 2000 DNS and iSeries

Why don't you try using the HOSTS file  in the Windows folder.

Subject: Windows 2000 DNS and iSeries




We have a Windows 2000 DNS server implemented and we are experiencing 
sporadic issues with not being able to resolve IPs for our 400s.  This is 
apparently only happening on workstations running Windows 2000 Pro.  We 
have changed our DNS settings on the workstation trying to find the proper 
setting, but this doesn't work too well.  For instance, my workstation will 
resolve the addresses in the morning and later in the day I cannot resolve 
the addresses.  I have to go into my network settings and either check or 
uncheck a certain box.  This will allow me to resolve the address, but at 
my next reboot I will have to change the setting back.

Any others have problems with this?  Our 400s are the only internal network 
addresses that we seem to have problems with.  However, they are basically 
the only components we need to resolve.  Any suggestions?
