Re: Host not found

Scott,

 

The client did not do a telnet yet but last night they were able to ping the 10.250.52.45 web server from the iSeries with these results:

Verifying connection to host system 10.250.52.45.
PING reply 1 from 10.250.52.45 took 3 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 128. 
PING reply 2 from 10.250.52.45 took 0 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 128. 
PING reply 3 from 10.250.52.45 took 1 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 128. 
PING reply 4 from 10.250.52.45 took 1 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 128. 
PING reply 5 from 10.250.52.45 took 0 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 128. 
Round-trip (in milliseconds) min/avg/max = 0/1/3.             
Connection verification statistics: 5 of 5 successful (100 %).

Does that help you diagnose the problem or does the client need to telnet with port 80?  Is there any user id authentication that the HTTP post has to worry about or any authentication issues on the destination server?

Thanks again for the support!
