Re: DB2 Connect error

Hi, Wayne:

I think I read somewhere that DB2 Connect must be able to connect to the
PC by name.  Make sure that the PC's IP address is represented in the
AS/400 host table.

Also, when you ping the AS/400, make sure that the CORRECT IP address is
returned to you.  Look at the output carefully to make sure that the
returned address is what it should be.  The fact that ping responds to a
by-name request, does not mean that you've actually pinged the right
system.
