Re: Ping and DNS

If you are on V5R3 or newer hit F10 and page down in CHGTCPDMN. You may need to set the protocol to *TCP if your DNS servers are Wintel boxes. Also you can turn up the Number of retries and time interval there but this shouldn't be needed if the DNS servers are local.

The NSLOOKUP ran fine, but PING still gets the same error message. Am I missing something?

Subject: Ping and DNS

I am currently having a problem with PING. When I PING a hostname that
is
not set up in our Host Table, such as www.yahoo.com, the AS400 is not
using our network DNS to go out and get the IP address. What it gives me

is the following message: "PING GETADDRINFO(): The name could not be
resolved at this time.  Future attempts may succeed. (1).". How do I set

up our AS400 to use our DNS if something is not found in the Host Table?
I
tried putting in our local DNS entries into the CHGTCPDMN command
INTNETADR parameter but still have the same problem. HELP! Thanks

Nick Franco
