Sure you can... >20.12.2003 15:15:24 GetHostnameOrNumber(): gethostbyname(): errno = 11001. Google on "gethostbyname(): errno = 11001". That points out good reference site http://www.sockets.com/err_lst1.htm where such high numbers are Windows Sockets errors, this one indicating lack of DNS service. >20.12.2003 15:15:24 sessOpen: Failure in communications open call. rc: -53 Session error messages with negative numbers are usually TSM API codes, as found in the Messages manual. The -53 is the TSM API DSM_RC_BAD_HOST_NAME, meaning that an invalid TCP/IP host name or address was specified. As pointed out by a prior responder, the situation indicates that your computer is not getting DNS service in order to do lookups on TCP/IP network names to get IP addresses. This may be the result of loss of network connectivity, specifying an incorrect DNS system, the DNS system not serving, or a no longer valid network hostname. Richard Sims, BU
