To get the toolbox for Java working I have to acces the AS/400, apparently
the connection name is "AS/400 name.AS/400 domain name.COM", could anyone
tell me where to find the AS/400 domain name ? Or is that the same name as
the domain I log on as a NT user ?

your as400 domain name is stored in tcpip configuration. BUT it may not
be the real name.
You can type any domain name in configuration.

Try CHGTCPDMN (and F4 for prompt) command. There you can find
hostname and domainname.

To make sure your host.domain is correct you should try nslookup in your
workstation.
If you know you AS400 IP-Address you can always try to resolve its name.

In DOS-Prompt type:
---

C:\>nslookup 195.237.88.41
Server: smtp.kolumbus.fi
Address: 193.229.0.40

Name: fisysas1.systeemiratkaisu.fi
Address: 195.237.88.41


C:\>

---
and you get the answer (just replace the ip addr with yours)

you may also try
---

C:\>nslookup fisysas1.systeemiratkaisu.fi
Server: smtp.kolumbus.fi
Address: 193.229.0.40

Name: fisysas1.systeemiratkaisu.fi
Address: 195.237.88.41


C:\>

---
and check if ipaddr is the same as your as400. (just replace hostname
with yours)

After that you are pretty sure you are trying to contact right machine.

Goto AS/400 command line and type in CFGTCP, on that menu (I forget the exact
option) is a parameter to view/change the AS/400 domain. Most likely it is
the same as your NT domain but not always.

Philippe,

the domain name refers to the IP domain as used by DNS servers. Windows NT
domains have nothing to do with your IP domains. The AS/400 domain name
should be specified in your DNS server (typically, the domain of your
company or site), or in your local HOSTS file. If your AS/400 is configured
properly you can find the domain using the CFGTCP command. Option 13 (if I
remember correctly) is "Change AS/400 domain name" or something similar.

Good luck,

-Denis

Ok Paul.

You'll going to have to back this up. My NT domain is MIAMI-LUKEN, my
TCP/IP domain is MIAMI-LUKEN.COM. Note: this is just intranet, no
internet conection. Why should I have not done this?

Hi,

An NT domain should NEVER match the AS/400 domain. Since NT domains have
nothing to do with TCP/IP, they also should not contain the typical ".COM"

(or whatever country you're in). If this would be the case (I've seen
already many of them), it unfortunatly means that the person who setup the
NT server isn't capable (yeah, yeah, ... NT is cheap and easy to maintain
:-)

Kind regards,
Paul

Hi Charles,

As far as I can see they're different (one is without the .COM). As this
might be obvious to you and people who know an "NT" domain is something
different than a "TCP/IP" domain, it isn't so for everybody (hence the
various I've seen so far... including the .COM as well).

Anyway, once you're in a multi NT domain model, you will/should (otherwise
you don't understand the domain model) realize that it can't be the same
anymore. In addition, the "domain" model of NT 2000, with it's
ActiveDirectory (and based on a IP-domain tree) will only increase the
confusion.

I can only assume that people maintaining such NT environments are just not
capable (but maybe cheaper than a qualified AS/400 person).

Regards,
Paul

Ok, what you are saying is having an NT domain named MIAMI-LUKEN.COM, I
can see this...I find it hard to believe that anyone who put the least
little bit of time into learning how to set up NT would do this...but
then again, it doesn't surprise me either.

Not sure I follow you here...haven't done anything with multiple NT
domains, and it's been a while since I read anything about the
ActiveDirectory in NT 2000.

They apparently don't care either. I had no expirence with TCP/IP
networks, AS-400's, and damm little NT before starting on this project to
migrate to the AS-400. But I didn't go setting up stuff willy-nilly, I
reasearch what I was trying to do, and if I was really stuck..I asked
somebody a question.
