Determine whether your server is using Domain Name System (DNS) servers to resolve host names

You can use DNS servers to resolve host names that are not entered in the local host table. If you are using DNS servers for host name resolution, you should see the IP addresses for the DNS servers specified as part of your TCP/IP configuration.

To determine if your server is using DNS servers to resolve host names, follow these steps:

  1. From the Configure TCP/IP menu, select option 12 (Change TCP/IP domain information).
  2. At the bottom of the Change TCP/IP Domain (CHGTCPDMN) display, verify that the IP addresses for your DNS servers are specified for the Domain name server, Internet address prompt.
