RE: Finding a specific PC IP address when dynamically assigned

["Ian Patterson" <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Phil,

Thanks for the pointer to DHCP.
Sorry about the '3rd time' but this was the first post from you I received.
No doubt the others are travelling round the globe as we speak...

Thanks

Yes it can be done. For the 3rd time, you need to look at DSN/DHCP.

And then reference your PC's from the program on the iSeries by *hostname*,
not IP address.
