Re: TCP/IP problem

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhui@xxxxxxx>]

Art,

   While I have not used the internal NT server yet (ours just arrived)
I do see a problem with the chosen IP Addresses.  Here's the problem:
Your Ethernet and TokenRing networks are on the same TCP/IP Subnet. This
means that the AS/400 must pick one when attempting to communicate to
your PC (Also on the same subnet). It is probably picking incorrectly. 
Try changing the TokenRing interface to 192.168.3.3.  This will put the
NT Ring into another Subnet. You will have to change the IP address for
the NT server itself to a 198.168.3.x address as well in order to get to
it.
   The rule that is any time there is a router between two network
pieces the pieces need to be on different TCP/IP Subnets.  In this case
the AS/400 is the router(or can be), and at the very least is ON two
different networks.
