RE: IBM i Windows network name

I'm thinking that I need to configure it via IBM I Access:

- Network
-- All Tasks
--- IBM I NetServer
---- Configure
----- go thru that
------- select 'Yes' for Do you have User IDs... (2nd prompt screen)
------- select 'No, use specified name', enter IBMSERVER on the next screen

Alternatively, use the GO NETS option 9 and change the server name (installed according to https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/667749)

I've never done either of those options, so not sure if either is right or which is better...

Subject: IBM i Windows network name

Ok group, I'm so close to having the new IBM i up and going... one more thing to get working.

Whenever I open a Windows File Explorer and try to go to \\QIBMSERVER<file://QIBMSERVER>, I'm shown the files/folders on our old box, should be the new.

I've changed IP addresses on both systems, and changed the system name on both boxes with chgneta (old one is now OLD400, new is now IBMSERVER) and re-IPLed both systems. I can see that both are renamed in dspneta. If I ping old400, it returns the IP of the old box. If I ping QIBMSERVER, returns the IP address of the old box (should be the new). If I ping IBMSERVER, cannot find host.

I've gone thru the CFGTCP options, they appear to match up on both boxes.

What else should I be checking / changing?

Blessings
Tom
