Configure iSeries server for NetServer

You must have *IOSYSCFG special authority to change any part of iSeries NetServer™ configuration. In addition, you must have *SECADM special authority to change the iSeries NetServer guest user profile. These changes will take effect the next time iSeries NetServer is started.

Verify that TCP/IP support is configured on your iSeries. You must have at least one external TCP/IP interface configured and active to use iSeries NetServer.
- Use the Configure TCP/IP (CFGTCP) command to check or change interfaces, routes, setup host table, and domain name services. Once the configuration is complete, use the Start TCP/IP (STRTCP) command to activate the support.
Use the Work with Subsystems (WRKSBS) command to confirm that the QSERVER subsystem has started.
Verify that the iSeries NetServer server name is unique on the network. To change the iSeries NetServer default server and domain name, use the following command:
```
CALL QZLSCHSN PARM (server-name domain-name 
'text description or comment' X'00000000')
```
Once you change the iSeries NetServer server name, you should add it to the Domain Name System (DNS) or your PC client's LMHOST file.
Users who require the file and print-sharing capabilities of iSeries NetServer, but do not have an iSeries user profile need a guest user profile. iSeries NetServer does not automatically configure guest support; users without iSeries user profiles will not be able to access iSeries NetServer.
Note:

For iSeries NetServer print support, the Guest User Profile must have a password.
To change iSeries NetServer guest support, use the following command:
```
CALL QZLSCHSG (guest-user-profile X'00000000')
```
To stop and start iSeries NetServer, use the following commands:
```
STRTCPSVR *NETSVR
```
```
ENDTCPSVR *NETSVR
```
All configuration changes made to iSeries NetServer, with the exception of share and session administration, do not take effect until you stop and restart the iSeries server. For more information regarding starting and stopping iSeries NetServer, see Start and Stop iSeries NetServer.
Use the Work with Active Job (WRKACTJOB) command to verify that there is a QZLSSERVER job running under the QSERVER subsystem. If the QZLSSERVER job is not active, you must restart iSeries NetServer.
Use the Work with TCP/IP Network Status (NETSTAT *CNN) command to verify that the following entries appear in the NETSTAT output file. If you cannot find these entries, then you must restart iSeries NetServer.
```
** netbios>001:27:44 Listen
```
```
** netbios>000:00:01 *UDP
```
```
** netbios>000:00:00 *UDP
```
```
** netbios>000:30:57 Listen
```
```
** cifs>427:49:42 Listen
```
Note:

The NETSTAT command output may be many pages long.
Use the Work with Active Job (WRKACTJOB) command to ensure that there is a QNPSERVD job active in the QSYSWRK subsystem. If there is no QNPSERVD job, then you must use the Start Host Server (STRHOSTSVR *NETPRT) command to start the Network Print Server (NPS). Starting the NPS ensures that iSeries NetServer print shares function properly.
