RE: Client Access Question

[Ken Slaugh <ken.slaugh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

        You are missing DNS on your Intranet. Your Internet resolution
is being done though the NT services on your LAN. The local host table
is the only address resolution you have to work with. Look into getting
your production AS/400 providing DNS services, then get DHCP to assign
the DNS address.
