RE: Socket Programming

Yes and No.  If you are using NAT then you have to setup your
router/firewall to allow the connection.  You must know the 10.10.x.x
address that will be translated to the 207.70.x.x   This has to be
programmed on the router/firewall that is doing the NAT.  The easiest way to
give an internal 10.10.x.x to the NT box.  They can wear multiple IP's.  How
are your two networks physically connected?  Via Router or both on the same
hub/switch?

Subject: Socket Programming


Hi All,

We have just delved into using sockets instead of ODBC to communicate
bewteen an NT IIS server and the AS/400. Wow ! is it fast.  We had no
problems on our test system, but we tried to go to our live system and ran
into a problem. 

Our internal network is a 10.10.x.xxx  and of course, both the AS/400 and
the test IIS box are on this network. The production IIS server is outside
our network with a 207.70.xxx.xxx address.  When we try to open a connection
to the AS/400, we are using the 10.10 address and it is not working.  Does
this have something to do with the NAT ?

I have only a very rudimentary understanding of routing (but I'm learning !)
and our network guy is less than helpful.

TIA for any ideas,

Cyndi 
Boise, ID
