Sorry, I saw you did set up the DNS entries.

Anyhow, remove the host table entires. Those just mess stuff up. Rely
instead on your DNS servers to do that.

And, since you're connecting directly to your ISP, the next hop shouldn't be
your static IP address. It's normally the IP address of a router or
gateway. Since you don't have one.. well, maybe you don't need it?

Anyhow, I'd suggest going to Best Buy/Circuit City, etc, and picking up a
router if you don't have one already. Go through that. Most have built in
firewalls and can do the routing for you.

Subject: [WEB400] Connecting i5 Express to Internet


I am trying to connect an iSeries 515 to the internet and would like
some guidance. This is my first try at this side of things after 20
years of programming on the midrange. I am signed on to the i5
using the System Console attached to the T6 port.

1. I have a static IP address from my ISP.

2. I configured the ethernet line on the iSeries (defined to use
the T5 port).

3. I setup the TCP/IP interfaces as follows:

Internet Address SubNet Line Desc Line Type
74.219.167.174 255.255.255.252 ETHLIN *ELAN
127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 *LOOPBACK *NONE


4. I setup the TCP/IP Routes

Destination Mask Next Hop Interface
*DFTROUTE *NONE 74.219.167.174 *NONE

5. Setup the TCP/IP host table entries

Internet address Host Name
74.219.167.174 S1048D02
DDMSONLINE
DDMSONLINE.COM

127.0.0.1 LOOPBACK
LOCALHOST

6. Changed TCP/IP Domain

Host name: DDMSONLINE
Domain Name: DDMSONLINE.COM

DNS Internet address: 65.24.0.168
65.24.0.169

7. I plugged the i5 into the internet modem / router

8. Started TCP/IP and the TCP/IP server

When I try to PING the domain name DDMSONLINE.com it says:

Verifying connection to host system S1048D02 at address 74.219.167.174
Cannot reach remote system


Where do I go from here?

Thanks in advance...
Rich..
