Booth,

Sure that's no problem. Just use the name instead of the IP when creating the session and/or
connection.

Note that you might want to make sure CA always looks up the name. In iSeries manager, right click on
the connection and select properties. Then on the connection tab, you'll see the settings that
control when CA looks up the IP from the name (Always, One hour, One Day, One Week, Never, After
Startup).

Note, your VPN must be properly configured to allow for DNS queries back into the remote DNS.

Also, I've found that it usually helps to specify the fully qualified domain name of the system.

HTH,

Subject: Client Access names instead of IP numbers?

Client Access names instead of IP numbers?

Is there a way, in Client Access, to tie an IP number to a name?

Here's the scenario that confuses me...

I connect to several different machines with vpn. Each machine has a
192.168.nnn.nnn number, which is what I use to set up the connection.
However, now I am getting enough different IP numbers that its hard to
remember what IP number goes with what machine.

Is there a way to use a name instead of an IP number?
