Check the Host name search priority (HOSTSCHPTY) parm on CFGTCP option 12. If this is set to *Remote then the system will search your network DNS (should be listed in the Domain name server: Internet address parm) first to resolve the host name. In theory it should check the local host table next, but sometimes funny things happen... If you switch HOSTSCHPTY to *Local it will use the local host table to resolve the host name. Also you should have both the short name and the qualified name in the local host table if you intend to use that. We once had a network guy that named a test PC the same as our test iSeries and that effectively messed up the network DNS entries for this system. If you are trying to ping the second partion from your workstation you will either need the host name set up in you network DNS or you will have to set up a local host table entry (usually hosts or lmhosts) locally on your PC. Unless this is a temporary system it should probably be set up in the network DNS. This will save you the headache of having to try to find every other hardcoded host table entry when something changes.

I am having problems resolving the host name on a second partition of our AS/400. I have the host tables set up and I would have thought that would be all I needed, but I can ping the IP address, but not the host name. Any suggestions?
