Re: Help: Can't ping AS400 through a VPN

[Pete Hall <pbhall@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wild stab, but I'd be suspicious of a missing route. Maybe the VPN can't
reach the subnet that the AS400 is on (if it's different). Maybe the AS400
itself doesn't have a route to the gateway for the private addresses used
by the VPN.
