What happens if you type the following from the command line?

    PING 'www.webservicex.net'

Does it say "Unknown host"?  If so, your iSeries hasn't been set up to use 
DNS.  Or, at least, it hasn't been set up to use DNS from the Internet.

To set it up, use the CHGTCPDMN command.  For example, if your system is 
named "iSeries.example.com" and your Internet provider gave you a DNS 
server to use of 192.168.5.1 (or perhaps you have your own DNS server on 
the LAN) you'd type the following:

CHGTCPDMN HOSTNAME('iSeries') DMNNAME('example.com') +
          INTNETADR('192.168.5.1')

Now when you try to look up a host, it'll ask the DNS server located at 
192.168.5.1 to find the host name.   If you're able to get Internet access 
from the PCs on yoru network, they must already be set up this way.  Type 
"ifconfig" from a DOS prompt in Windows to see how your PC is set up.
