Re: Host not found

Thanks Sean for the quick reply.

The client did a PING command and got back:

Which I guess explains the job log message.

Here is a screen shot of Option 12, CFGTCP command (the true values have been changed (for instance, HOST has a valid host name) to protect the client) :-):

           Change TCP/IP Domain (CHGTCPDMN)

Type choices, press Enter.
Host name . . . . . . . . . . .   'HOST'
Domain name . . . . . . . . . .   'host.com'
  Domain search list . . . . . . .   *DFT
  Host name search priority . . .   *LOCAL    &nbs! p; *REMOTE, *LOCAL, *SAME
Domain name server:
   Internet address . . . . . . .   '12.345.67.89'
                                                                   Bottom
F3=Exit   F4=Prompt   F5=Refresh   F10=Additional parameters   F12=Cancel
F13=How to use this display        F24=More keys

I'm have limited operator/admin knowledge and the client has limited experience with TCP/IP. Can you tell by the screen shot what is wrong, or can you please refer me to a user guide/redbook/article?

Thanks again for the help.
