Re: PTF FTP Download Problem

I wonder that too Scott.  You don't suppose they added something to the i
that works the same way that my TCP/IP properties on my Windows PC works
when it says "Obtain DNS server address automatically", do you?

I'm confused.  If you have the INTNETADR parameter of CFGTCP, opt 12 set
to *NONE, how is it looking up the IP address for ptf.boulder.ibm.com?
That doesn't make any sense.

That's how I knew you had a host table entry before -- you had *NONE for
the DNS server, therefore there must've been a host table entry to
translate the name to a number.  No other way to translate a name to a
number.

Now you say you deleted the host table entry, left it at *NONE, and it
works?  That makes no sense.

Well, Scott (surprise, surprise) nailed it.  There was a host table
entry for Boulder at 207.whatever.  Whacked that and got the PTF
fine.  Did not make any changes to the DNS (CFGTCP #12) entries;
i.e., it is still *None.
