Well, the network guy (aka boss's son) finally got around to checking out
the remote PC. He was as puzzled as I, but finally agreed to shutdown the
AVG firewall.
Lo and behold, the PC5250 emulator made the connection.
But, then, it got a little odd. He restarted the firewall, and the PC5250
emulator *still* made the connection.
That was late Friday afternoon. I did a remote to the remote PC this
morning, and it still made the connection.
Whatever. The store manager is now a happy person - until it craps out
again. If that does happen, I'm just going to start fiddling around with
the firewall rules and see what's there.

Hi Jerry -
Looks like it could be a PC firewall blocking the executable:

This is only occurring at one remote location. When they double-click the
desktop icon (iSeries Access for Windows - PC5250), they get a
"PC5250 License Error: CWBCO1003 - Sockets error, function returned
10013 (with our IP address)".
I couldn't find anything regarding this function code in the Archives,
Google, or the "Details" box of the error message.
I can take over the site's PC, which I did.
I ran Ping on the remote PC (which, by the by, is running XP Pro at SP3).
It hit our iSeries box.
I ran cwbping. All services, most notably Telnet, connected fine.
I tried configuring a new session. Same error.
Oddly enough (to me, anyway) the Data Transfer icon works fine.
Uh, I'm stumped.
