But unfortunately I cannot say why. The only changes I made were to add some DNS entries which initially didn't seem to work. But I DID have to restart the Windows server and I did have to restart the IBM i last night due to a UPS issue so somehow that fixed the issue.

I hate it when the "Microsoft fix" (reboot) takes care of the problem without knowing why.....

I suspect that is part of it. It was assigned a reservation in DHCP. I
added a DNS entry and a reverse DNS entry for it. Flushed the cache on
the DNS server and the i and now when I ping the FQDN it*does* return
the correct internal IP. But still no response on the ping in either
direction. FWIW 5250 also won't connect. As far as it knows,
10.0.10.205 doesn't exist....

Still diggin'
