RE: Client Access - Black Display screen

Is your telnet server running on the AS400?  Look for job QTGTELNET in
subsystem QSYSWRK or use ops nav / network / servers / tcpip and check the
status of the telnet server.  Two, have you configured telnet to auto-create
devices or have you manually created them?  Are they varied on?

Hope this helps,

Subject: Client Access - Black Display screen


My next problem in the ongoing saga of my first AS/400 install. I've spent
the entire morning poring over manuals to try and figure out what I've
missed. However, can't figure it out, so am hoping one of you will be able
to tell me what to try.

The AS/400 is a 720 running V4R3. Installed Client Access on an NT system on
the same LAN. Can PING to other servers on the LAN from both the NT and the
AS/400.

Got the AS/400 connection working on the NT. Well, partly, and that's the
problem. I can used Ops Nav. I can Transfer Data from AS/400 and display it
on the NT. 

However, when I try to use PC5250 emulation, I get just a black screen. The
bar across the top of the window shows session A. When I first try to start
the session, the blue markings in the two bottom corners flash briefly, then
go black. So, I'm left with the lovely icons on the top and the blue line on
the bottom. 

Any ideas what I've done wrong?
