I have
my AS/400 set up in CHGTCPDMN as host name AS400 (original, eh?) and domain
ARCTOOLS.COM. IP address is
internal, 192.68.0.170 (guess what model I
have…).
ARCTOOLS.COM
is hosted out there on the internet someplace, not in-house. Even so, this has worked OK so
far.
Now,
I’m trying to get Websphere working. It seems that Websphere is unhappy
because it’s trying to resolve ARCTOOLS.COM for some reason. DNS is returning 216.something (the
ISP/web site). For some reason,
Websphere wants to talk to domain ARCTOOLS.COM. It can’t because I have the AS400
behind a PC firewall. So, after
half an hour or so, Websphere gives up and
dies.
I’m
looking for advice. What DOMAIN
_should_ I use? Does anyone know the impact of changing
a domain? If Websphere is looking
to talk to ARCTOOLS.COM, what is it looking
for?
I am
currently testing setting up an entry in the host table to override the DNS
reply and point ARCTOOLS.COM to another server inside. Maybe that will fool it into working
properly.
Any
thoughts?
