Verify Domain Name System (DNS) Parameters
If you are unable to connect to a Rlogin resource using an Internet host name, enter the
following command:
Local> SHOW INTERNET NAME RESOLUTION CHARACTERISTICS
Domain Name: MKTG.FOO.COM
Resolution Host Limit: 32 Resolution Time Limit: 4
Resolution Mode: Ordered Resolution Retry Limit: 3
Nameservers: (Locally configured)
195.1.1.81 Local NAMED.MKTG.FOO.COM
Nameservers: (Learned)
195.1.1.91 Local ELF.MKTG.FOO.COM
195.1.1.16 Local MINE.FOO.COM
195.1.1.82 Local NAMED.MKTG.FOO.COM
195.1.1.43 Local WOLF.PERSNL.FOO.COM
Verify that the DNS parameters are set up correctly. For more information on configuring
the access server on a TCP/IP network, refer to the Network Access Software Management
Guide.
Verify Communication to Remote Internet Host
If you are unable to connect to a Rlogin resource, determine if the access server can
communicate with the Internet host. Enter the following command. Substitute the Internet
address (or host name) for 195.1.1.60:
Local> PING 195.1.1.60
This command establishes a PING session on the access server port. This session will
continue until the PING succeeds (and sends a verification message) or until the timeout
period of 30 seconds is exceeded. If this command fails, then the Internet host is
unavailable.
The PING command is the same as the TEST INTERNET command. For more
information on the PING command, refer to the Network Access Software
Commands Reference Guide.
