Hi Pete,

Our i5's internal IP address is 192.168.0.20 s/n mask 255.255.255.0. I
can ping all internal devices, but when I ping external sites, I get an
ip resolution (i.e.: IBM.COM returns 129.42.16.103), but the ping
response fails.

I don't think the domain makes a difference. I'd start pinging up the
chain and see where you can no longer get a reply.

I don't believe that you have to restart the TCP/IP stack to get things
working.

What is the IP address of the i5 and how is it subnetted?

Hi Rob,

Yup, according to the documents you gave me, everything appears to be
in
order. Most of the steps had already been performed, so I'm starting
in
the middle of the steps. According to the docs, it says:

Configure a route:
done - *DFTROUTE *NONE Next Hop: 192.168.0.2 (our L3 switch)

Define local domain and host names:
done - however, there is one question - in the "domain name" setting,
we
have it set to "SPS.COM". However, our true domain name is
"simcoeparts.com". The domain name server IP is pointing to our
Windows
Domain Controller (192.168.0.23). Will this dissimilar domain name
info
make a difference? If I change it to "simcoeparts.com" will it affect
the live system?

Define a host table:
Done. I have added in our HA software provider's IP address and host
name.

So I guess my only questions are:
1) Is the difference in the domain names a problem?
2) Do I need to stop and start TCP for the changes to take effect?

Thanks!

I like iNav. However it's hard to communicate graphics through this
list
server so I'll stick to the character based interface for our
discussion.

First of all, did you do all the steps in:
