Re: IBM i Windows network name -- MIDRANGE-L

Do you have an old WINS server running someplace with an entry for the old
machine?

Originally, Windows Networking used WINS by default, rather than DNS.

Our PC folks added one to the host table on of the PCs to point to the new

pinging to the old box.

I had previously changed the IP address of the two boxes, old
192.168.30.113 -> 192.168.30.115, new 192.168.30.114 -> 192.168.30.113.
Before, a ping to QIBMSERVER would return the (old) 192.168.30.113,
yesterday (even after she added host entry on the PC) it returned
192.168.30.115 (the new address of the old box).

Now, with the old one down, ping QIBMSERVER fails - as does \\QIBMSERVER
in Windows file explorer (which yesterday also kept going to the old box,
regardless).

Well, that's probably why you always find the old system. You probably
have a host table entry on your PC which points QIBMSERVER to the old
system. I despise host table entries.

Right now the old system is down, the ping is saying 'cannot find host'

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://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibm.com%2Fsupport%2Fpages%2Fnode%2F667749&data=05%7C01%7Ctomh%40idocket.com%7C993e3390cb9847d59cb008da47bf0f2a%7Ccfcc5bb848014360aa721ecceeb7d0b3%7C0%7C0%7C637901183199198631%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=z2JcyiTPYYPH5aNQElq0VjKJ9uZOaIgbJsLWfVzoEKs%3D&reserved=0
)

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
