Re: [WDSCI-L] hostname resolution & vpn

Thanks, Don.  That must have been it.  Trying to connect to the as400 is
what prompted the VPN to connect so the connection failed before the VPN
connection was completed.  Then I tried again.  This time I pinged the as400
first, signed on to VPN, then started rse and it worked.
