What is TCP/IP?

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. Set of protocols for the network and transport layers of a packet switched data network, most notably the Internet. Developed in the US for the Department of Defense ARPAnet system and has become a de facto standard used by many vendors – particularly on top of Ethernet, and/or in Unix systems. Supported right across the IBM ranges. TCP/IP was for many years considered to be a stop-gap which would be killed when OSI systems became available – however the reverse appears to have happened.

I am not an Expert in TCPIP and made some changes recently. Now, I am starting to get the following message every few seconds. DSNL512I @ DSNLILNR TCP/IP GETHOSTBYADDR FAILED WITH 663 RETURN CODE=1 AND REASON CODE=00000000 We did change the IP address of our host and is there any place in DB2 where we need to specify the host address? We are OS/390 2.7 with DB2 V5.

We had the same message/problem here when we had incorrectly set the value for the PRIMARYINTERFACE value in the PROFILxx in the TCP parms.
