RE: TCP/IP Trace

Make sure you didn't do anything silly like put the remote sites into your 
host tables.  Rely on DNS instead.
Details:
Suppose you have SYSTEMA and SYSTEMB.  If you do
CFGTCP
10. Work with TCP/IP host table entries
you should not see SYSTEMB when you are doing that on SYSTEMA.
you should not see SYSTEMA when you are doing that on SYSTEMB.

You should be using DNS instead.  See:
CFGTCP
12. Change TCP/IP domain information
F10=Additional parameters
pgDn
Record any address(es) stored in 
Domain name server:
  Internet address 
and ask your network people if they are still valid.

Our network consultant justifies his existence by occasionally changing 
the IP addresses of our DNS, changing the subnets our i's reside in and 
other fun stuff.  At least he no longer changes all three DNS at once. 
Yes, when he changes one of our i's we have to change the interface for 
each machine on just that machine. 

You should have more than one DNS.
