RE: PPP dialup to AS400 - access to entire LAN?

Yes.  Make sure your AS400 know about all your routes.  Also make sure it
assigns you an IP that fits into your subnet.  I have not personally done
this but any network administrator should now how to configure a RAS server
for dial up access.  It is basically the same for the AS400, just different
commands.  I believe that Ops Nav helps to simplify this process.

Good Luck,

Subject: PPP dialup to AS400 - access to entire LAN?


I have an existing PPP dialup to an AS400 and would love dearly to be able
to access any other hosts on that LAN just like I might if I were using a
Perle 833, Shiva LanRover, or NT RAS.  I want to be a node on that network
so that I can launch other non-AS400 services like FTP, telnet to other
TCP/IP hosts (ie:  Sun, routers, AS400's, etc.), etc. and I don't want my
keys trapped by the AS400 telnet pgm nor do I want to be limited in the
services I might want to launch.  Is this possible?
