Re: Having trouble with MOUNT *NFS

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again

Rob is saying that DEVELOP.DOMAIN.COM refers to your IBM i - which IP 
address did you specify explicitly?

There are a couple settings when you run CFGTCP - one sets the domain, 
the other the host name of your IBM i. Then there is an option to set 
things in your local IBM i host table, right? He is saying you need an 
entry there (or in your local DNS server) for the combination of your 
IBM i host name and its domain.
