TCP/IP networks can use Domain Name System (DNS) to map system names to IP addresses.
In a DNS network, an entry tells clients in the network how to map the system name to its correct TCP/IP address.
If you want PC clients to access iSeries™ NetServer™ by using DNS, then add the iSeries NetServer system name and IP address to the DNS database on the i5/OS® operating system. Using DNS is generally the easiest way for clients to access iSeries NetServer on a distributed network.
To add a new DNS database entry for iSeries NetServer on the network, specify the iSeries NetServer server name.
