RE: Net Computer access to internet from 400

[Carl Gerlach <cgerlach@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, they are.
I found Document Number: 9190716 in the knowledge base that referred to the 
issue I wrote of. However, the items it suggests have already been checked.
As follows:

Document Title: Network Station Cannot Access Web Sites Beyond a Router
Document Description:
The user has a local area network connected to the Internet through a network 
router or gateway. The
AS/400 system can PING Internet locations by name, but the Network Station 
cannot access them.

Resolution:

There are some tests to perform and configuration items to check:
Verify that the Network Station can PING the address of the network router. Use 
Alt+Shift+Home to bring up the IBM Network Station User Services Console. 
Select Utilities, and select Test Network from the pull-down menu. Type in the 
IP address of the router at the HOST: prompt, and click on Apply.

If the PING is successful, you should receive a positive message. If you 
receive a message that the address is not responding, this indicates a failure. 
You may wish to increase the number of packets (default is 1) to allow it to 
retry multiple times.

If you can PING the router successfully, try PINGing an Internet address that 
is beyond the router. If this fails, it indicates that your packets are not 
being forwarded by the router.

First, check to see that the 'gateway address' is configured in the IBM Network 
Station Setup Utility. You can do this by logging out on the Network Station, 
then powering it back up. Watch the initial messages - when you see the message 
'NS0500 - Search for host system...', press the Esc key. This brings up the 
utility menu. Select F2 to view network parameters.

Verify that the gateway address field contains the IP address for the first 
router that Network Station goes through to get to the Internet.

If this is an Ethernet installation, there is an additional parameter to check. 
Verify that the Ethernet Standard field is set to the correct option for your 
network. The default is 802.3. You may need to set this to version 2 (for 
Ethernet Version II) if your router is configured to support only Ethernet 
Version II.

Ensure that the network address and subnet information are correct.

Are they on the same subnet?

|I hope someone can steer me in the right direction.
|I have been working with IBM's NC 100's, NCD's Wincenter ala Citrix
Winframe
|since early last year. (On an off that is).
|
|I have a router on my network with a connection to the internet. I can
AS400
|PING my ISP or any other address for that matter. I was even able to telnet
to
|my ISP's BBS.
|
|So at this point I think I've got it right.
|
|Here comes the net computer with the IBM web browser. (I know it's not very
|good, but for testing I thought it would be OK). Every time I enter a
address
|or URL I receive the error that the location not found.
|
|What gives? I know I am missing something, but what?
|
|Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
|
|Sincerely,
|
