Re: Host On Demand and ports 8999/8989

Following is an answer from one of the HOD developers:

ok, Well I had to go down the hall for this, and we are not sure, but here
is a
guess.

We are asuming that the intra net works, and the internet doesn't, so it
follows
that the HOD server is on the intra net, being redirected through Wingate
to the
internet.  given those assumtions:
Port 80 is probably mapped through Wingate to the HOD server port 80.  That
much
seems to be working.
ports 8989 and 8999 need to be mapped directly from the wingate server to
the
HOD server.  My buddy down the hall suspects this is your problem.  We are
not
sure without a network map.
another port to be aware of is 12173, the first default AS/400 address
port.
this one needs direct mapping to, as well as any others defined on the HOD
server as AS/400's.  This masks your AS/400 from direct internet
addressing.

There is some port stuff added to the help documentation in hod 4.1.   it
explains some of this stuff.
hope this helps.

Subject:  Host On Demand and ports 8999/8989

I have successfully configured the client to connect to the Redirector
Server
then to the AS/400.  I'm unable to do it though through the internet.
Documentation says that I should enable ports 8989 and 8999.  I'm using a
Wingate proxy and have already created TCP ports for 8989 and 8999.  I am
able
to access the HOD login screen but not the Configured Sessions.

Can anybody help?
