RE: Network connection

["Edwards, Douglas " <Douglas.Edwards@xxxxxxxxxx>]

     Reeve,

     We had the same issue here with a programmer who worked remote.  We

     use a STRCODE server session, with a home-grown command & CL
program
     setup to retrieve the IP address and fill in the Remote Location
Name
     with this retrieved IP address.  It would as you pointed out
retrieve
     the internal address rather than the external.

     So we had to add a parm to our command to allow the IP address to
be
     manually keyed instead of retrieved.  It works, but the programmer
     must find this external IP address and key it in manually (quite a
     pain).

     It would be nice if there was some other way...

     Anyone have a better way?

     Doug Edwards

I'm having trouble starting a CODE/400 server when working through my
network connection.

I have two systems connected to a Netgear RT314 Gateway Router (no
ROTFLYAO,
please) and then into a cable modem up to the 820 via a firewall.  The
RT314
provides NAT and some firewall protection.  The IP address seen by the
RT314
is not fixed (today it's 65.34.yada.yada); within the LAN, the RT314 is
192.168.0.1 and the other systems are ".2" and ".3".

When I use a dial-up connection (without the RT314), everything works
fine
(because CODE/400 knows my IP address).  I think this shows the server
is not causing the problem.

I assume the RT314 is the issue.  The iBox is giving me EVF4000, "A
remote
host refused an attempted connect operation."  (3425).

I'd be grateful for any help...

Thanks,
Reeve
