RE: E-mail problems

[Justin Houchin <jhouchin9@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can connect by domain name to the AS400 from outside of my network.
For some reason, if I try to do this from the inside(of router) I get
the routers admin page. I think this is a routing issue. Should I change
I Domain Name Server Address to the external address of our ISP's DNS
Server instead of the router's IP address? I am using "www" because I
have not setup "mail" yet. And doesn't it work the same way. Our
webserver is the same ip address as is our e-mail server. So I should be
able to use www.relaitek.com for both, right????

Change TCP/IP Domain (CHGTCPDMN)


 Type choices, press Enter.



 Host name  . . . . . . . . . . .   'www'



 Domain name  . . . . . . . . . .   'reliatek.com'







 Host name search priority  . . .   *REMOTE       *REMOTE, *LOCAL, *SAME

 Domain name server:

   Internet address . . . . . . .   '192.168.0.1'

Justin,

Can you describe the routing between your PC and the AS/400?  Can you
connect by domain name from PC to AS/400?  Is your AS/400 configured to
use DNS or local addresses first?  What is your internal DNS
configuration and AS/400 host table entries?  Reliatek.com is a valid
address on the internet, yet it doesn't seem to have an MX record, will
mail get to you at 68.59.64.83?

'WWW' is a fairly unusual host name, is that what you really wanted?

At first glance, it looks more like a routing issue than an AS/400
configuration issue.

Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
