I don't think you can use the same next hop from different subnets. You need the address on the inside of the router that is in the same subnet as your iSeries. It'll be x.y.1.z, probably, for some number z. Ask your network person what the gateway is for the subnet where your iSeries is.

Hi all,

I forgot to take my smart pill this morning because it's not 5:00 yet and
I've already run out of good ideas.  I'm not sure if I've got everything
set up on our iSeries to get out to the Internet.  Ultimately, I'm going to
write a socket program to send a file from the system to an Internet site.
Since we've never connected it to anything outside of our LAN/WAN I wanted
to make sure that I could.

For starters, I can ping a site from my PC and get a response but if I ping
the same site from the iSeries it times out.  It does however resolve the
IP address of the site from the DNS.  I've tried increasing the WAITTIME of
the ping but it didn't help.  The NEXTHOP value in CHGTCPRTE is the same as
the default gateway on my PC.  My PC is however on a different subnet with
an IP of x.y.15.99 and the iSeries is x.y.1.101.  I can do a TRCTCPRTE from
the iSeries to the site I want to connect to and it looks like it's getting
through (although I'm not experienced with this command).  I've also tried
Scott Klement's example #1 program from his socket tutorial but it blows up
on when issuing the connect().  We do use a proxy server for PC's but I
haven't seen anything for configuring the iSeries to use it too.

Thoughts?  Ideas?  Can I get there from here?  Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks.
