Found it in iSeries Nav!  Now works from my PC.  It's amazing what RTFM will
do when you find out there's a "FM" that fits nicely. ;)

You mean that CHGTCPDMN has to have just 192.168.0.1 in the INTNETADR parm?
That seems slightly odd, but what you're saying is to find a site, the i5
will look at 192.168.0.1 (itself) because that's what's in the INTNETADR
parm, then, if it cannot find the site, it will use the FORWARDERS I defined
in iSeries Nav (which are 4.2.2.1/4.2.2.2, the Verizon DNS servers)?  Am I
getting somewhere?
