I learned something this morning and thought I would pass it along in case it helps someone else. The day started with the internet being down. In doing backup checks I noticed the BRMS recovery reports had not been copied to a Windows file server within the domain. Reason is because Netserver was not started. Tried to reset and start Netserver and got this in QSYSOPR (I stripped out some portions): Message ID . . . . . . : CPIB683 Date sent . . . . . . : 05/14/15 Time sent . . . . . . : 07:16:51 Message . . . . : IBM i Support for Windows Network Neighborhood (IBM i NetServer) was unable to start. Cause . . . . . : The required IBM i NetServer job QZLSSERVER was unable to start because of reason code 13. See the following reason codes and their meanings: 13 - The retrieved host IP address of 6.0.0.7 is invalid. Recovery . . . : Complete recovery for the specified reason code. 13 - Correct the name configured for IBM i NetServer which conflicts with an existing name on the network, and try the request again. The Netserver name has not changed since day one so I opened a PMR (by phone since no internet either!). No idea what the 6.0.0.7 IP address is . . . After the internet came back up just for fun I tried starting Netserver again and it worked. Huh? What does the internet have to do with it? Rochester called in response to the PMR and she said she could fix that. In CHGTCPDMN we have 3 DNS servers listed, 1 internal Windows and 2 Comcast. The 2 external have something to do with it. So she had me add the Netserver name "QDILGARD" to the host table entries on the IBM i so it would find the IP address for the i there. With or without internet. She was aware of this behavior but could not answer why. She was curious herself, said she would ask the developer when he arrived, and report back to me via the PMR. I waited until now hoping the PMR would have something of an explanation, but it still does not. If I get something I will pass it along.
