It should be mentioned in general that the HTTP server is not the only one that 
requires proper TCP/IP configuration. The info in Shannon's post is pretty much 
simply a good description of a necessary element of that configuration. The 
_correct_ HOST and DOMAIN settings plus the host table entry for the _correct_ 
host name (and any useful aliases) can resolve a number of TCP/IP server 
problems.

The biggest issue I've had is in interpreting the error messages that 
eventually lead you back to TCP/IP configuration. If a message could just say 
"Correct your host table entry for xxx" or something similar, a lot of time 
could be saved. But putting correct values in the configuration from the 
beginning also saves that time... if only the _correct_ settings were always 
known in the beginning.

Unfortunately, achieving cooperation between AS/400 or iSeries administrators 
and network administrators isn't always easy; and when an AS/400 is suddenly 
made to interoperate in an IP network, there's a good chance the AS/400 people 
will not be given any training -- they're simply expected to know it all from 
the start.
