Re: AS/400 Accessing the Internet

Do the other PC on the LAN run any software to access the internet with the
Share the Net PC? Or how do the other PC's find the Share the Net PC?
Knowing that might help.

A side note. Getting your AS/400 to see the Internet is ok, but what you
really need is the Internet to find your AS/400. Does the Share the Net
software allow directing of incoming traffic? (From your email it sounds
like it does) Do you have a static IP address from your ISP?

If you want to email me offline that if fine.
