Re: AS/400 and WINS Name Resolution

On your Remote Procedure Command are you using TCP/IP or SNA to
communicate?  Are your PC's connected using SNA or TCP/IP?  Suggestion, use
TCP/IP.  I use RUNRMTCMD to run commands on our PC's from the 400.  Most
times I already know the PC I want to access.
On another issue I created a command called RTVIPADR which uses 'OS/400
Configuration APIs' - 'Retrieve Device Description Information (QDCRDEVD)'.

We are running a Windows NT network and have two WINS servers (we are not
running DNS). We also have four AS/400's on our network as well. All of our
client PC's are running "IBM Client Access" for 5250 sessions to the
AS/400. I have a user trying to use the "Remote Procedure Command" to run a
command on a PC. They reference the PC by it's Windows NetBios name. Of
course the AS/400 can't find the PC because the AS/400 doesn't use NetBios.

Can the AS/400 be configured to reference the WINS servers for NetBios Name
Resolution? Our AS/400 is a model 170 running OS/400 V4R2. Thanks for your
help.
