Tom,

Thanks. I didn't even think about that.

Thanks,

Mark,
You should use the new DNS servers on your iSeries; the same as your PC
network.

Yes, I believe that you do need to restart TCP itself, not just the TCP
servers for the DNS change to take effect, but I am not 100% positive on
that.

I do know that as an immediate fix you can add the problem mail server and
IP address to your iSeries host table. Just take it out later. I usually
set the DNS options to check the host table first, then query DNS.
====================================

Yes, I can. For review, here's what I did.

Firstly, the DNS Servers on my iSeries are 12.127.16.67 and 12.127.17.71.
AT&T does our DNS. We were given these to use years ago. Up until
recently,
we didn't use internal DNS. Now we've upgraded to Windows Server 2003 as
our domain controllers. We use that for DNS. We serve the local IP
addresses of our domain controllers to our clients using DHCP for DNS.
192.168.0.5 and .0.6. The DNS server in our Windows server hop to
12.127.16.68 and 12.127.17.72. This was set up by our networking
consultant.

What I did was to change the DNS servers on my pc from DHCP to static
12.127.16.67 and 17.71. The same as on the iSeries on which our Domino
Server resides. From my PC, using the DNS servers that the iSeries uses, I
could not resolve an IP address for the mail server to which I'm trying to
send a message. When I change the PC back to using DHCP, I can resolve the
IP address of the mail server to which I'm trying to send a message. This
tells me that 12.127.16.67 and 17.71 are not up to date and 16.68 and
17.72
are. I'm not a networking guy, but I'm the network guy here.

So now I have two questions. Should I use, on my iSeries, the IP address
of
our Windows 2003 servers for DNS, or should I use the actual DNS servers
from AT&T? And, if I change these values, does TCP/IP have to be restarted
on the iSeries in order for the changes to take effect?

Did I totally confuse you now? :-)

Thanks,

Mark
