I am assuming you are using a router to connect the PC's and the 400 together. The router itself will grab an "external ip address". You have to view the documentation on the router to retrieve this information. This Ip address is what the other programs need to connect into your 400. You also have to configure the router pass all telnet traffic to the 400. This is done with a section called "Port Forwarding". After that is completed, you have to make sure that the *DFTROUTE for the 400 contains the IP address of the router, usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 depending on your router. You can configure the *DFTROUTE by go tcpadm, option 1, option 2. Here is what mine looks like... Route Subnet Next Preferred Opt Destination Mask Hop Interface *DFTROUTE *NONE 192.168.0.1 *NONE If you have any problems, let me know Justin -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-admin@midrange.com [mailto:midrange-l-admin@midrange.com] On Behalf Of Richard Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 2:04 PM To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: How to make my iSeries at home available to outside programmers This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] At home I have a small network of PC's all connected and sharing a single cable modem. I have purchased an iSeries Model 270 running V5R1 and I have managed to connect it to my home Network. Now I would like to make my iSeries available to several programmers who work out of their homes. My question is - What is the easiest way for me to give access to my iSeries to people outside of my home network? Warning - I don't have a lot of experience in networking computers and using IP addresses. Someone has told me that since my Network uses a Cable Modem I would have to get a ?Internet IP Address? and Point it to my Home Network. That did not mean much to me (Due to my lack of experience, I need more details then that) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
