As an alternative, you may define the IP address of your AS/400 by entering the following command
addtcpifc intnetadr('192.168.0.2') lind(ethline)
     subnetmask('255.255.255.0')

To start this TCP/IP interface, select it with 9=Start from the screen in Figure 3,
or just enter command
strtcpifc intnetadr('192.168.0.2')

You should now add a Default Gateway (or route) to your AS/400 configuration. This would allow the AS/400 to route to your Internet service provider the conversations which cannot be handled on the local network.

• From the menu in select option 2. Work with TCP/IP routes: ):

3. Defining names and tables

1. You are now going to define the AS/400 host name, its domain name, and its DNS server addresses.
   From the menu in select option 12. Change TCP/IP domain information (or prompt command chgtcpdmn); please substitute our sample values with your; see your .

   Change TCP/IP Domain (CHGTCPDMN)

   Type choices, press Enter.

   Host name. . . . . . . . . . . .	'myas400'
   Domain name. . . . . . . . . . .	'mydomain.it'
   Host name search priority. . . .	*LOCAL	*REMOTE, *LOCAL, *SAME
   Domain name server:
   Internet address . . . . . . .	'194.20.8.1'
   	'194.20.8.4'

   Please note that the host name is up to you; it may be different from the one you display with command dspneta.
   
   
2. Now you have to update the host table with the host name of your AS/400.
   
   • From the menu in select option 10. Work with TCP/IP host table entries (or use command addtcphte, see ):

then select option 1. Change HTTP attributes
(or just prompt command chghttpa): ,
then select option 3. Change SMTP attributes
(or just prompt command chgsmtpa):
