Re: Renaming the 400 side of a NetSoft Connection

If I understand you correctly, you use NetSoft router, hence APPN.
Information about APPN location names is kept into invisible repository,
called APPN topology database.
To get read of stale information, delete all related configuration objects
(*CTLDs), vary offline all *APPN-capable *CTLDs, then change APPN node type
(CHGNETA) to different type, and then back (for example,
NETNODE->ENDNODE->NETNODE).
This will purge topology database.
In a complex APPN network environment you should avoid doing this too
often, because topology changes will be communicated to other nodes.

Or you may choose to do nothing - stale information will be timed-out and
purged automatically.

You must be LAN connected.  Yes, the AS400 does keep a table of the router
PC Location name and the MAC address of the PC.  It checks every time you
connect so you can't change either without deleting every remnant of that
PC loc name on the AS400 and letting it regenerate.
