RE: AS/400 Accessing the Internet

["Bob Crothers" <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Stacy,

You probably don't have your default route set up on the as/400.

Go to one of your working Windows PC's.  Go to control panel, networking and
then the TCP/IP properties.  Write down the address you are using for
"Default Gateway".

Then, on the AS/400, do a cfgtcp

Select option 2.

You should have 1 entry like the below...either add it, or change the one
you have.

The Route Destination should be *DFTROUTE
Subnet Mask is *NONE
Type of service is *NONE
Next Hop is the Default Gateway address from your WinTel machine.

It should now work.  I don't think you have to take the line down for this
to take effect...but I could be wrong.

Bob

Subject: AS/400 Accessing the Internet

Hi.

We have an AS/400 150 running version 4.3.  We have had TCP/IP up and
running over our LAN for the past 6 months now.  We recently hooked up our
LAN to the internet over a DSL line.  We have a PC gateway that is acting as
our firewall using a product called Share the Net.  All PCs on our LAN can
access the internet.  The AS/400 can not see the internet.  Our ISP provided
us with the bridge IP address as well as two DNS server IP addresses.  The
AS/400 can ping the gateway server and all other PCs on the LAN, but we
cannot ping the bridge IP address.  I feel that I am missing something on my
configuration on the AS/400.  We have TELNET, DNS and HTTP running on the
AS/400.  I have added the IP address of our gateway PC to the routes.  I
added the two DNS IP addresses to the TCP/IP domain information.  I did not
add the bridge IP address anywhere on the AS/400.  We have set up our Share
the Net configuration to look at the internal IP address of the AS/400 for
TELNET and HTTP.  Still no luck...  Can anyone help??

Our purpose in all of this is to have our programmer access the AS/400 from
the internet instead of using a dialup...and eventually get our software
running over the internet....

Thanks.
Stacy
