<h2 id="changenetname">Change the server name of iSeries NetServer</h2>
<p>The iSeries NetServer&trade; server name is the name you use to install the iSeries Access for Windows
and to access your iSeries NetServer over the network and the Internet. Under most circumstances,
you do not need to change the server name that iSeries NetServer uses on iSeries. Even though
you can connect to iSeries NetServer using any server name you choose, you should not
change the server name from its default. The name should be the same as your iSeries
system name. If, however, you must change the server name, review the <a href="rzahlchngnetname.htm#ca400man">naming guidelines</a> before doing so. You can view the iSeries system name in
the iSeries network attributes by using the Display Network Attributes (DSPNETA)
CL command.</p>

<div class="notetitle" id="wq45">Note:</div>
<div class="notebody">You must have *IOSYSCFG authority to change the iSeries NetServer configuration.
The change to the server name does not take effect until the next time that iSeries NetServer is
started.</div>
<p>To change the iSeries NetServer server name by using iSeries Navigator, follow these steps:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Open iSeries Navigator and connect to the system you want to work with.</li>
<li>Expand <span class="bold">Network</span>.</li>
<li>Expand <span class="bold">Servers</span>.</li>
<li>Click <span class="bold">TCP/IP</span> to retrieve a list of the TCP/IP servers
available.</li>
<li>Right-click <span class="bold">iSeries NetServer</span> and select <span class="bold">Properties</span>.</li>
<li>On the <span class="bold">General</span> page, click <span class="bold">Next
Start</span>. In the <span class="bold">Server name</span> field, specify the name
that iSeries NetServer should use.</li></ol>
<a name="ca400man"></a>
<p id="ca400man"><span class="bold">Server name guidelines</span></p>
<p>The default name configured for iSeries NetServer is typically not the same as the
TCP/IP system name. This is done in order to avoid conflicts with older versions
of Client Access (pre-V4R4) that look for the system name. However, you are
encouraged to have the iSeries NetServer name configured to be the same as the system
name when possible.</p>
<p>Therefore, if you are using iSeries NetServer for the first time or if you have changed
the TCP/IP name of your system, you should also change the iSeries NetServer name to
match the system name when the following are true:</p>
<ul>
<li>No Windows clients in the network are currently using Client Access for
Windows 95/NT (pre-V4R4).</li>
<li>No users currently have network drives or printers mapped to iSeries NetServer shares.</li></ul>
<p>If you have not completed the migration to iSeries Access for Windows for all Windows PCs on
your network from a pre-V4R4 version of Client Access, you should keep the iSeries NetServer name
different from the system name to avoid inconsistent results for the clients.</p>
<p>If users in your network currently have network drives or printers mapped
to iSeries NetServer shares, you should disconnect these mappings before changing the iSeries NetServer name.
Otherwise, these mappings fail when automatically trying to reconnect using
the older name. You should also update any DOS scripts on the clients that
refer to the older iSeries NetServer name.</p>
<p>To avoid making all of these updates simultaneously, you can select the <span class="bold">Allow iSeries NetServer access using iSeries name on the iSeries
NetServer</span> option on the <span class="bold">General Next Start Properties</span> dialog box before you change the iSeries NetServer name. The next time iSeries NetServer is
stopped and restarted, both names will be recognized. The new system name
can be used when configuring new Windows clients while the existing clients
continue to use (map to) the previous name.</p>
