RE: Need Help for Currency Exchange Rate Web service
This way you just circumvented the "DNS Server Problem" on a quick and
dirty way. But you did not solve your basic configuration problem. As
Mike already mentioned you should talk to the network admin to properly
set up your TCP/IP configuration. For now it seems that your iSeries
cannot access the Internet at all. It may be blocked by a Firewall or
you may need to use a proxy server. I assume that no one in this
mailing list can tell you for sure whether the core of the problem is a
Firewal or a missing proxy server or something complety different, e.g.
the network cable is not plugged in. The only one who should be able to
answer that question is your network administrator.
Last but not least I am missing the answers to Mike's questions (dated
from 31.10.2012):
1) Do you have a *DFTROUTE on the IBMi?
2) Does *DFTROUTE match the default gateway of your PC?
3) Does the iSeries and your PC belong to the same subnet?
4) Are the DNS servers valid DNS servers? (Most likely the answer is no
since you added webservicex.net to your host table)
5) Does your PC use a proxy server to connect to the Internet?
I believe that you have two options:
a) Given that your PC and your iSeries belong to the same sub-net you
should adjust the TCP/IP configuration of your iSeries to match the
values of your PC (DNS server, default gateway, proxy server).
b) If your PC belongs to a different sub-net, you need to contact your
network administrator.
