Since renaming our Hostnames and IP Addresses of our network and using NT for DNS, rather than an AIX DNS Server, getting the following error:

Timeout waiting for command response. If you specified a foreign host, see the /etc/inittab file... srcmstr (-r flag).

The problem occurs first after the rc.nfs file runs.

Other AIX machines are working fine with this new configuration. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Update. Turns out that on this machine I was still using the old hostnames in the /etc/resolv.conf, changing the information to the new DNS Server hostname resolved the problem.
