Re: Unable to mount NFS after upgrade to V6R1

Douglas, 

Do you know what a Domain Name Service or DNS is?  I would eschew the use 
of a host table or hard coded IP addresses.  Instead I would use a DNS. 
When you have a DNS you can 'PING' it by name and it will tell you the IP 
address.  Try pinging nra.org.  To enter in your DNS entries type in
CFGTCP
12. Change TCP/IP domain information

If you're shy about talking to your network person then you can try, from 
a DOS prompt on your PC, 
NSLOOKUP NRA.ORG
And the address line immediately underneath server is the address of ONE 
of your DNS.  Most companies with more than a small number of computers 
have more than one.  We have three or more.  Again, I recommend talking to 
your network people and figuring out what the addresses are and enter them 
all (or up to three) in CFGTCP.

If NSLOOKUP returns nothing, then you're one of the rare companies with NO 
DNS (or your PC is really set up wrong).  You can configure your i to be a 
DNS.  It's in iNav.  Our DNS in the DMZ is hosted on i.
