I’m running Domino 6.01 on an iSeries 270. I have partitioned it into five servers and everything is great. I’m adding another Domino server that is on Windows 2000 SP3.
The Win2k server can replicate with the iSeries, and TRACE returns good results. However, on the iSeries I cannot TRACE to the Win2k server or replicate with it. It resolves the IP address then says there is a network error. When I run NETSTAT on the iSeries it shows port 1352 in a listen status.
I checked my server documents, all the ports match on all the servers. Does anyone have any idea what I might be missing?
Thanks,
Charles

Can you ping the IP address of the Win2K server? How about if you ping using the host name of the win2k server?

Steve, thanks for the response. I can ping the IP address, and once I added the host name to the hosts file I can ping the host name. The server name CHA-FAX, but the Domino server is Fax/WMBIRD. Should I change it so they match?

Yes - it’ll use the domino “common name” part as the DNS hostname…
So adding an entry to DNS or hosts for Fax to point there would definately help. Or embed the IP address in a connection document.

Our Windows 2000 admin changed the IP address of the server and didn’t tell me. Once I updated the host table on the iSeries I managed to get it working.
One thing I noticed was it caches the IP address, so I had to do a trace to the IP address, which pulled back the server name and updated the cache.
