Re: Screwy Central System connection...

[William.Epperson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Rob,

I did hard code it the with the correct IP information on my desktop.  It's
not in DNS, it's only a temporary thing while I decommission the old
server.  I did not want to put it in DNS, so I added it to my hosts file on
my XP desktop to map via name.  I've even tried mapping to that server via
IP only and I get the same result.  Which is how I had it originally, until
I hard coded the name/IP in my local hosts file.  I thought it might have
been something stuck in my iSeries access suite, so I reinstalled that as
well.

I checked everything from your first email as well.  I've ran through all
of the TCP/IP config's and DSPNETA all shows the new name.  The old IP
doesn't even exist as an interface anymore.  The only thing that still
exists is the original MAC address that was previously assigned to that
original IP.  But that changed back in May to the new system.  Like I said,
I have crawled through this system and through iSeries access suite, and I
cannot figure out why it insists on pulling down the wrong IP during the
verification phase.  I have checked the server that's listed at Memo2 and
it is in fact the old system.  It just does not like the verification to
make it the central system.  I've added it into WRKRDBDIRE so that I can
test BRMS information between the systems.  That's all working fine.  We
had considered making this another test system, so that's why I did that
portion.  The verification IP info is the only error I can find that is
pointing me to why it will not let me run *MGTC correctly and make it a
Management Central server.  I can't find it in the job log, because
everything shows that it was started fine, at least it looks right to me.

Thank you,

You don't have this on your desktop hard coded in a host file possibly.
