Good point, didn't even think of that. I'll give it a try. It still bothers me, though, that the Terminal Server is loosing host name / IP references. Any thoughts? Lucas W.

The client is setup using two Windows 2000 servers. One being the File/Print/Exchange/DNS/etc. server and the other being the APP/Terminal Server. Along with these two servers, my client is running an AS/400. (By the way, be careful which AS/400 apps you install on your Terminal Server <--AS/400 Emulation/Interface software doesn't play well with Terminal Services). From time to time, the terminal server "forgets" the DNS entry for the AS/400. You can ping by name of the AS/400 on the DNS server. However, on the TS server you cannot. Then, after some time has passed, you can start pinging it from the TS server again by name. The reason this is an issue is that the clients are using the DNS name to resolve and get to the AS/400. Any ideas why my client's TS server is dropping name recognition? Thank you. =3D20 =3D20 Lucas W.
