RE: Ping and DNS

Use NSLOOKUP to see which DNS server you're connecting to, and if it can
resolve the domain names that you want it to.

Subject: Ping and DNS

I am currently having a problem with PING. When I PING a hostname that
is 
not set up in our Host Table, such as www.yahoo.com, the AS400 is not 
using our network DNS to go out and get the IP address. What it gives me

is the following message: "PING GETADDRINFO(): The name could not be 
resolved at this time.  Future attempts may succeed. (1).". How do I set

up our AS400 to use our DNS if something is not found in the Host Table?
I 
tried putting in our local DNS entries into the CHGTCPDMN command 
INTNETADR parameter but still have the same problem. HELP! Thanks
