Re: Ping and DNS

I got it working now. The port that was set up on command CHGTCPDMN was 5000 
rather than the standard port 53. PING works fine now. Thanks 
for the suggestions everyone.

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.
