RE: TCP/IP over Leased line between AS/400's

Billy,

Why not configure your Ethernet line to use both the SNA and TCP/IP traffic?
With this solution you need to put a router between the Ethernet and the
leased line, but it will be able to handle the different protocols.

Good luck!

Subject: TCP/IP over Leased line between AS/400's

We have 2 local AS/400's that are both on the same token ring, one of
these AS/400's is also on our Ethernet Lan with an NT server.   We have
3 remote AS/400's that are connected to the local AS/400(the one that is
on both token ring and ethernet) via leased lines.

The local AS/400 on both lan's is also the Network node(*NETNODE).

I have TCP/IP working between the 2 local AS/400's.

Will I be able to run TCP/IP over the leased lines to the remote
AS/400's along with the existing SNA traffic?

When I try to add the TCP/IP interface on a remote AS/400 and specify
the line description as the leased line I get the following message:

Any help/ideas will be appreciated!!
