Re: Ping and DNS

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you are on V5R3 or newer hit F10 and page down in CHGTCPDMN. You may 
need to set the protocol to *TCP if your DNS servers are Wintel boxes.  
Also you can turn up the Number of retries and time interval there but 
this shouldn't be needed if the DNS servers are local.
