Re: Interface host name

>From the help on NETSTAT:
The name of this interface as defined in your local host table or as
known to a remote Domain Name Server (DNS).  The field is blank if 
no name could be found.


Keeping in mind that you can have multiple interfaces defined, (we have 
several, one for traditional and several for a multitude of Domino 
partitions), then option 12 of your CFGTCP doesn't know which interface 
you are defining.  But, on that same option 12, you define a DNS.  If you 
ping what you have in Host name, will it return the IP address?  If not, 
you either need to set up a DNS in option 12, and make sure that this host 
name and address are defined in your dns.  Or go into option 10 and add it 
there.  Now, I am not a big fan of host tables, however I will use them 
for addresses local to that same iSeries.

Hi all

On the iSeries, under Netstat option 1 (Interface status), taking option
5 to display our main Ethernet connection, there is no 'Interface host
name'

Does anyone know where to add this name?  It is correctly setup under
CFGTCP - 12 Change TCP/IP domain information.

Apparently, this is required for the WDSC Distributed Debugger.

Any help appreciated.
