Rép. : new MochaSoft connection

From what you are saying, I am almost sure that your firewall does some

NATing (Network Adress Translation) to allow access to your Iseries from
the internet.

What that means is this:
- The AS/400 has an IP adress that is not visible on the internet (like
192.168.1.1 ) but only in your LAN
- Your firewall is connected to the internet and control at least one
public IP adress (like 207.200.200.200)
- The NAT rules says that when a request is made from the internet to
the 207.200.200.200 adress, it is translated/redirected to a request to
the adress 192.168.1.1 in the LAN. 

That is how you can reach your AS/400 from home. 

Since from work, your request do not go trougth the firewall, you can
not use the 207.200.200.200 adress

Since the adress 196.198.1.1 is not visible outside your LAN, you can
not reach it directly from home.

The quick solution will be to have your network admin change the NAT
rule in your firewall to rederiect the traffic from the 207.200.200.200
adress to the new internal adress of the new server.

But, I would suggest that you setup a VPN access instead. You current
setup (if I am right) leaves your AS/400 open to the world which is not
a good idea security wise.

We are swithing our AS/400 box to a new Box and was wonder how the
MochaSoft connection was setup.  I can use a dummy ID address and
connect to the system from home and at work, but I can only use the
machine IP address to connect at work.  If I try to connect with the
machine address at home I get a can not connect to AS/400 message.
 
I am using DSL and the other programmer is using a cable connection.
 
 
 
Please help
