Re: SMTP DNS problem -- MIDRANGE-L

Yes.  In fact, I can do an NSLOOKUP from the AS400 and PING the IP address
from that. For example:

nslookup www.yahoo.com

ping '216.115.102.78'
Verifying connection to host system 216.115.102.78.
PING reply 1 from 216.115.102.78 took 410 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 241.
PING reply 2 from 216.115.102.78 took 328 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 241.
PING reply 3 from 216.115.102.78 took 298 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 241.
PING reply 4 from 216.115.102.78 took 353 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 241.
PING reply 5 from 216.115.102.78 took 266 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 241.
Round-trip (in milliseconds) min/avg/max = 266/331/410
Connection verification statistics: 5 of 5 successful (100 %).

But

ping www.yahoo.com
Unknown host, WWW.YAHOO.COM

Any other ideas?
