    What is the procedure to connect the aix server to internet. I'm unable to ping or ftp to ibm website to download TL
    Already the ftp,telnet daemon is active. I'm able to telnet/ftp to my local windows machine.
    1. ftp delivery04-bld.dhe.ibm.com
    ftp: Unknown host delivery04-bld.dhe.ibm.com
    How to proceed....

    2. Make sure your default route is set correctly. Do a "netstat -rn" and look for the default. Also, do "lsattr -El inet0" and check the "route" attribute. There should be one, and only one, and it should point to your gateway.
    3. Check /etc/resolv.conf to be sure your DNS servers are there.
    4. Make sure you can ping them by IP address.
    5. Do "nslookup delivery04-bld.dhe.ibm.com" and verify that DNS is resolving to an IP address.

    I haven't worked on an AIX system yet that could directly get to the internet.

    Also, you can download a TL to your PC and then move it to your server.

    This may be due to the slow internet call the operators to check the speed of the internet.
