Re: tn5250 time out error.

[Scott Klement <tn5250@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

'connection timed out' means that TN5250 sent a request to connect to 
your server (the one at XXX.XX.XXX.XX) and did not receive a response to 
that connection request, so it eventually timed out.

Most likely, a firewall or similar device is blocking access to yout server?

What happens if you type:

   telnet XXX.XX.XXX.XX 992

I know the 'telnet' command wont work because it doesn't support SSL, 
but does it connect to port 992?  Or do you get a time-out error?
