Tom, Thanks. I didn't even think about that. Thanks, Mark Mark D. Walter Senior Programmer/Analyst CCX, Inc. mwalter@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.ccxinc.com Tom Kreimer <tkreimer@infoalt .com> To Sent by: Lotus Domino on the iSeries / AS400 domino400-bounces <domino400@xxxxxxxxxxxx> +mwalter=hanoverw cc ire.com@midrange. com Subject Re: Fw: Screwy situation 04/19/2005 11:10 AM Please respond to Lotus Domino on the iSeries / AS400 <domino400@midran ge.com> Mark, You should use the new DNS servers on your iSeries; the same as your PC network. Yes, I believe that you do need to restart TCP itself, not just the TCP servers for the DNS change to take effect, but I am not 100% positive on that. I do know that as an immediate fix you can add the problem mail server and IP address to your iSeries host table. Just take it out later. I usually set the DNS options to check the host table first, then query DNS. ==================================== Tom Kreimer Information Alternatives Yes, I can. For review, here's what I did. Firstly, the DNS Servers on my iSeries are 12.127.16.67 and 12.127.17.71. AT&T does our DNS. We were given these to use years ago. Up until recently, we didn't use internal DNS. Now we've upgraded to Windows Server 2003 as our domain controllers. We use that for DNS. We serve the local IP addresses of our domain controllers to our clients using DHCP for DNS. 192.168.0.5 and .0.6. The DNS server in our Windows server hop to 12.127.16.68 and 12.127.17.72. This was set up by our networking consultant. What I did was to change the DNS servers on my pc from DHCP to static 12.127.16.67 and 17.71. The same as on the iSeries on which our Domino Server resides. From my PC, using the DNS servers that the iSeries uses, I could not resolve an IP address for the mail server to which I'm trying to send a message. When I change the PC back to using DHCP, I can resolve the IP address of the mail server to which I'm trying to send a message. This tells me that 12.127.16.67 and 17.71 are not up to date and 16.68 and 17.72 are. I'm not a networking guy, but I'm the network guy here. So now I have two questions. Should I use, on my iSeries, the IP address of our Windows 2003 servers for DNS, or should I use the actual DNS servers from AT&T? And, if I change these values, does TCP/IP have to be restarted on the iSeries in order for the changes to take effect? Did I totally confuse you now? :-) Thanks, Mark Mark D.
