Rob,

Use WRKLNK to look at /QIBM/UserData/OS400/DNS/BOOT and see if they are
using forwarders or something like root hints.

Subject: Is DNS running on their 400?



Situation:  Remote customer 400 of which we have access.  Stopped sending
us data and email.  All strictly TCPIP over the Internet.  We can access
them using telnet, by their name.  However, from their command line we
cannot ping any outside locations, like nra.org.  Message is unknown host.
I noticed that their address for their DNS under CFGTCP-12 is the same as
their interface under CFGTCP-1.  I question as to whether or not they are
really running DNS on their 400 or if someone's been messing.  They are
running V4R5.  I am trying to set up to talk to them before I make the
call.  I can't access their system remotely using Op's Nav.  Is there a
green screen way of seeing if DNS is configured to run on their 400, like
perhaps netstat, wrkactjob, or whatever?
