RE: Changed our IP address now SMTP is broken -- MIDRANGE-L

Allen,

You might want to double check this.

The errno 3421 - Address not found is the error you'd see if there was an issue.

97ea?OpenDocument&Highlight=2,SMTP,fails

Document Description
Problem: Message TCP2074 message in posted in the QTSMTPSRVR joblog when trying to start SMTP, and
SMTP then ends abnormally.

Action Taken: Check Option 12 (CFGTCP), and record the host and domain names. Also ensure that the
host name search priority is set to *local. Then, check Option 10 (Host table) to see if the
host.domain name is defined for the IP address for the system. Modify the host table entry adding the
host.domain name, and then start SMTP (using the STRTCPSVR *SMTP command).

Also saw a PTF for v5r2....

Good Luck,
Charles

Allen,

SMTP expects to be able to do a (reverse?) lookup for the
boxes IP address.

When you changed you IP address, did you change the iSeries
hosts table?

What about DNS servers?

HTH,
Charles

Subject: Changed our IP address now SMTP is broken

While setting up VPN on our network we had to change the

IP

address of our AS400 (V5R1) from 192.168.1.50 to

192.168.2.50

Everything appears to be back up and working (Users can

log

on, map drives etc) except for SMTP

SMTP will start up (jobs QTSMTPBRCL QTSMTPBRSR QTSMTPCLTD
QTSMTPSRVD) they stay running for about 5 minutes

Then they end with the following in the joblog:

TCP206E Diagnostic 40 08/02/07

Check the status of Internet Protocol interface

the

command NETSTAT *IFC, and start if necessary, or

correct problems.

When I run the command NETSTAT *IFC is shows our new IP address
192.168.2.50 not the 192.168.1.50 that is shown in

the message above from the joblog

So something somewhere still has our old IP address

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

John
