RE: AS400 to Internet through Proxy server.

Hi Gerald can I confirm a few things.

1/ Are you saying that the Proxy box is doing NAT (Network Address
Translation) is it acting as a proxy based firewall? Is so what firewall
proxy product?

2/ What OS/400 release is your 400 on V430?

3/ If you are interested some of the people in IGNITe/400 have been looking
at NAT and IP routing and filtering under OS/400 and may be able to help you
out.

4/ When you say you tried to create a route did you aim at the proxy server
as the default gateway if its doing NAT to get to the router?

5/ If you are on V430 did you know the 400 can do the IP forwarding, NAT and
proxy serving for HTTP clients for you without the need for the firewall?


Thanks
Bleddyn

I have just installed an ISDN line and Router onto my internal network.
Works great.
Our company has both an Internal IP network, and a list of External IP
addresses.
I have bound an outside IP address to an interface on the AS400.
I then created a default route to the router.
Works great. I can now see the outside world from the  AS400, and
 the outside world can see my AS400.

However, I want my router directly connected a proxy server and not
directly connected to the network backbone. ( I do not want an external
IP address for my AS/400)

The proxy server will have a IP address on our internal network and
perform IP translation to the outside world.

I tried to create a route to the Router with out the Outside IP address
interface, but could not.

What is needed to get the AS400 to FTP to an Outside site through
a proxy server?
