Re: APPN tunneling or pass-through router configuration w/ CAWIN 95

[MARK_WELTE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

John,

I've not done it with Windows 95 and Client Access, but we are doing it
with Windows NT 4.0 and Client Access. Bascially, you put multiple systems
on the same router configuration. The first system that you enter is the
box that you can access directly from your PC. Then, add the second system.
To the right of the system name, it will say something like (via SYSTEMA),
where SYSTEMA is the first system that you added to the router.

The only problem I can see with doing this is that if SYSTEMA is down, then
you can't get to SYSTEMB. This may be a concern for you. For us, if SYSTEMA
(production) is down, we won't be to worried about accessing SYSTEMB
(development). :)

Good luck,
Mark

Subject:  APPN tunneling or pass-through router configuration w/ CAWIN 95





Hi all.
Has anyone attempted (or know if it's even possible) to configure a CAWIN
95
router connection (using 802.2) through an AS/400 to another using a
"tunneling" or "pass-thru" approach?  Specifically, we have a smaller
AS/400
sitting on a seperate segment of our network via a secondary token ring
adapter in our larger AS/400. Is it possible to do this in an environment
as
I have described?
I seem to recall being able to do so in versions of Client Access and PC
Support prior to Windows 95. Am I mistaken?
