RE: Need Help for Currency Exchange Rate Web service
It would appear you have two problems...
1. The DNS servers configured on the IBMi don't appear to be valid, reachable from the IBMi DNS servers. Are they?
DNS server found: 148.173.250.201
DNS server found: 148.173.250.28
Usually, these could be set the same as on a PC in the same sub-net (ipconfig /all). If they are the external DNS servers...probably related to this problem...
2. The IBMi can't get out to the internet. Is it behind a firewall or been locked down so that it isn't reachable from or to the internet? If so, you will have to authenticate to the firewall or punch a hole through it. We found it easy to create a outbound rule that allowed the IBMi to talk to the internet directly. This avoided having to authenticate to the proxy and allowed ping to work to check connectivity. (also allowed DNS out, ftp (to download PTFs for example), http, https, and any other services we needed to run) If you have to authenticate, there is built-in support in V1.24 for basic and digest. Thomas Radditz has a patch available for NTLM authentication at his website: http://www.tools400.de/. Even if you authenticate for http, I believe you will still need to get DNS resolution to work (hole in network or using internal DNS that will resolve the external references for you).

It seems it's having trouble performing a DNS lookup on
www.webservicex.net.
What does it say on the screen if you type (at a 5250 command
prompt):
ping rmtsys('www.webservicex.net')?
I'm guessing that your DNS resolution isn't working.
