System i: system name = unknown?

I'm retrieving the name of some IBM System i from SQL with

; select local_host_name from qsys2.tcpip_info

This works for several machines, giving me in the first characters the same value than DSPNETA.

But with one machine, the result is "UNKNOWN" (and this is not the good name!) What could be the problem with this machine?

There's simply no TCP/IP host name assigned...

A bit strange, especially now-a-days, but computers only care about the IP Address.

Ask the admins to assign it via the Change TCP/IP Domain (CHGTCPDMN) command

EDIT
I suspect you've got a name assigned in a DNS server somewhere, so your PC clients haven't noticed.
