Since neither post is showing, so I didn’t have much to do with it. I didn’t have an answer, only questions. Cache clearing would probably have been the result. I have ILE code to do it rather than going into SST, but it could have been helpful. Glad you have it cleared. — Tom

Hi.Thank you Tom, anyway.Here is what I figured out together with IBM guys.It shows there was probably wrong record in the DNS cache.Apparently -according to APAR MA39638- this was caused with TCPIP groups lvl 6 or 7 and is known issue on 610. Fixed with MF50442.It was not supposed to show up on SLIC 611 (which is the one customer server uses).If this problem ever occurs (on SLIC 611) to anyone of you, then- launch SST Communications trace and try pinging the name- run SST TCP macros- use CALL QSOMAINT PARM(’2′ ’2′) to dump the cache=== all this only collects the data you can use to see if it is this problem ===- and then remove and add the local host table entry – apprently this is enough to empty the cache :-/

Well, I tried a second time and it’s also not showing up. Apparently you’re destined not to get help. — Tom

I have no clue what happened to my comment. I’ll wait a while to see if it shows up before trying to enter all of it again.
