RE: Mapping IFS to a PC Drive.

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Will the windows name of the PC work instead of the IP address?

But, then again, knowing the iseries you might have to put apostrophes 
around the IP address.  For example, on a command line in a PC you can
ping 10.10.1.1
but on a 5250 command line you have to 
ping '10.10.1.1'

I'm having a few problems...
I did the wrklnk,  and then I entered this command
CRTDIR DIR('/QNTC/333.20.21.95/') 

The iseries doesn't have a external DNS, so I just put in the PC's IP... 
Is
that ok?

But when I try to do a '5' and enter that link I get...

dspjoblog 
Session initialization error with Network Server 333.20.21.95. 
Session initialization error with Network Server 333.20.21.95. 

Any ideas?
