Re: iSeries to the Internet... almost?

John,

Easiest way to determine the gateway is to look at a PC that is connected to
the internet from the network.  Open a DOS command prompt.  Use the command
IPCONFIG /ALL  The default gateway is listed.

If you have more questions feel free to contact me off list or give me a
call (or IM me if you want).  I have done this many times for different
clients as well as our in-house 400's.
