Re: Model 270 - HTTP Product Lic

If you want to be sure you have everything set up correctly for your HOST
TABLE and DOMAIN,  compile and run this java program.

// Test retrieving IP address
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public class GetIP
{

 private  String OutIP = null;

public GetIP(String PmOutIP)
 {
  super();
  OutIP = PmOutIP;

 try
   {
    InetAddress MyInet = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
    System.out.println("Local Host Name = " + MyInet);
    String MyIP = MyInet.getHostAddress();
    System.out.println("Local IP Address: " + MyIP);
    OutIP = MyIP;
     }
     catch (UnknownHostException e)
     { System.out.println("Error..." + e);}
    }


  // Main Method
   public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
    {
     String OutIP = null;
 //    OutIP = args[0].trim();
     GetIP Ip = new GetIP(OutIP);
     System.exit(0);
    }
}


To compile, move this source file to your IFS, say the "/home" directory
and call the source file GetIP.java

Start the Qshell environment by entering the following on
a command line:

QSH

Compile it by entering the following on the QShell command line:

javac /home/GetIP.java


Now run it by entering the following on the QShell command line:

java -cp /home GetIP

Your output should look like this:

Local Host Name = MYDOG.ISTIRED.COM/192.168.1.2
Local IP Address: 192.168.1.2
$


If you don't get your own Host information and IP address as shown above,
then you have a problem
in the HOST Table and Domain information.
