Re: Socket Programming

Hi Cindy,
as I understand you, you want to connect your IIS-machine "outside" of
your company network to an AS/400 machine "inside" that network.
Probably you are doing NAT / having a Proxy-Server between your private
network and that official net your IIS with the 207.xx address is in.
Like this you have to do PAT (Port Adress Translation) on your NAT-
machine to map the adress of your AS/400 machine to something which can
be seen from outside. Of course you need more than one official (Internet-)
address for this purpose.
Tha AS/400 needs to know how to reach the 207.x.x machine as well. this
is done by adding a static route (CFGTCP), option 2.
You then point your ODBC to that address instead of 10.10.x.x
and got it running.
