RE: internet PTF service

Not meaning to be picky or start a war here, but if your 400 has an internal
(reserved/non-routable - eg 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x) address, how does that
get routed over the internet?  It doesn't.  It goes through your PC as an
intermediary.

No 400 I've ever used iPTF on has had access to the internet.  My PC did.
The 400 did not.

Justin,

I don't know if it worked differently before or not. If you use the iPTF
service today, you're presented with a sign-on screen where you need to
enter the host name or IP address of an AS/400. You can't skip past this
screen, therefore you need an internet accessible 400 in order to continue.
