RE: Getting error A Route to the Remote Host is Not Available

You have not told your iSeries how to get from 192.168.99.x to the 10.x.x.x subnet. You need to add the router that sits on the 192.168.99.x network and connects to the 10.x.x.x network.

When you manually telnet are you doing from your PC or from a Telnet session on the iSeries?

Best to look at your PC. From a command prompt type ipconfig and see if your IP is on the 192.168.99.x subnet. If it is, the default gateway from your PC should be entered into your iSeries.
QSYS/ADDTCPRTE RTEDEST(*DFTROUTE)
SUBNETMASK(*NONE)
NEXTHOP('192.168.99.x')

Subject: Getting error A Route to the Remote Host is Not Available

We have been running this program for a long time and it has
been working fine

We just installed a new system with 7.1

I think I have configured everything on the new machine the
same as the old machine



When I run the program and it tries to connect tour Exchange
Server on port 25 I get CPE3429 "Route to Remote Host is Not
Available"

I thought this had to do with the

I reviewed the setting for CFGTCP

1. TCP Interfaces has 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
*LOOPBACK *NONE

192.168.99.1 255.255.255.0 ETHEG *ELAN
(The line ETHEG is active)

2. TCP/Routes has *DFTROUTE *NONE
10.0.0.xxx *NONE
where 10.0.0.xxx is our Layer 3 switch which all our clients
and servers connect to and 10.0.0.xxx also has the necessary
routes to all interfaces internal and external

What am I missing here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Also, I can manually telnet to the exchange server fine
