<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Today just out of the blue users got the error 'the remote server is not a known tcpip host' all client lotus notes locations are set to chicago/admin but they can't find that now so we replaced the server details with the ip &nbsp;172.20.1 30. &nbsp;We have a backup disaster server chicago-dr\admin and they can switch over to that location easily.<br />
<br />
How to we get the original location to work again without going to each pc and the server to an ip in the location settings? &nbsp;Has something happened in DNS settings everything looks ok there is a record for Chicago-Mail1 pointing to 172.20.1.30 which is the mail server.<br />
<br />
Any help much appreciated

Lotus domino location settings have to be set to IP address why doesn't it find chicago/admin ?

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.
