I used the think the same but. looking at my PC here which
works on a peer-to-perr network, I can see that TCP/IP is the only protocol
loaded.

I know you don't need IPX. MS used to require
NETBEUI but apparently not now.

Subject: Client Access Express, Win98SE,
Network Neighborhood
I have CAE V4R5M0, Service
Pack 65435, Win98SE, OS/400 V4R5. Client for Microsoft Networks is
installed on my PC, as is TCP/IP protocol (no other protocols are installed).
For the life of me, I cannot get the AS400 to display in Network Neighborhood.
I can ping it by IP address and by name. I can map drives to the
shared resources. I can find the computer using the
'Start->Find->Computer' display. I've verified (via CFGTCP) that
the 400 is on the same subnet as my PC (192.168.30.x, s/n 255.255.255.0), and
is in the same workgroup (simas).
I have read the books relating to Client Access and Netserver.
Here's a passage from one of them:
2. Verify the AS/400 NetServer name and domain. The AS/400 NetServer server name is a Netbios name that
the system administrator assigns to
the AS/400 system. Once you have a AS/400 NetServer server name assigned, it will appear on the PC through
Microsoft Explorer. Make sure that the AS/400
NetServer server name is unique on the
network and that the AS/400 NetServer is in the same domain (workgroup) as the majority of the clients that
want access to the AS/400 file and
print services. You must have *IOSYSCFG authority to change any part of the AS/400 NetServer configuration.
To change the AS/400 NetServer default
server and domain name, type the following at the AS/400 command prompt: CALL
QZLSCHSN PARM(server-name domain-name 'text description or comment'
X'00000000') Once the name has been
changed, it should be added to the Domain Name Service or Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) if you use
either of these. Refer to the
Microsoft Windows NT Server Administration Guide for details.
Since I can ping the AS400 by name (QIDOCKET), I assume that the
previous administrator did the 'CALL...' line. However, I can't be sure
that he added the system name to the DNS, or to the WINS. I don't have a
WinNT Server Admin Guide.
My
questions are: What is the default
server and domain name? How do I
verify the AS/400 NetServer name and domain? How do I add the name to DNS on Windows NT? How do I add the name to WINS on Windows NT?
