Re: getting oath2 from auth.vcap.cc

[Brad Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Check to make sure you don't have any host table entries for that
host/domain on your IBM i.

Also, check the DNS servers you're using in CFGTCP option 12.  Make sure
those are correct as well.

If you ping from your PC and from your IBM i and they are different,
something is set up wrong on your IBM i.
