RE: CA Express and Life Certainties (A question appears at the end)

What type of firewall is your client using?  He may be allowing the SNA
traffic thru but blocking the TCP/IP.  Is your AS400 running TCP/IP over
SNA?  Is your client running TCP/IP over SNA?  Start looking there.  After
you answer those question, if you still cannot connect, post more detail
here and I will try to further assist.

Subject: CA Express and Life Certainties (A question appears at the end)

I have a client moving from Rumba to CA Express (4.5.1) as part of a 
corporate-wide standardization project.  Said client has several systems 
attached throughout the continent via TCP/IP locally, and at least one 
customer remotely.  This client has very few connections actually described 
on my local AS/400, in fact, none explicitly.

I'm no TCP/IP expert, but I do know this.  I can connect CA Express to my 
local host via the Wizard without difficulty using the system name.  I can 
further connect to one of our remote locations that appears on the local 
AS/400 under NETSTAT with a generic address of First Three Digits (dot) 
Second Three Digits (dot) zero (dot) zero where the succeeding zeros are 
actually more explicit numbers, using the explicit number under CAE and a 
setting of "Server".  I _CANNOT_ seem to connect to the remote customer 
utilizing the same methodology used for the remote in-house location, and
the 
remote customer has no similar generic entry under NETSTAT.

I also know that, after adding a HOSTS entry to my NT machine, I can PING
and 
TELNET to the remote customer under DOS.  I can also PING and TELNET to the 
remote customer via a session on our local hosting AS/400.  However, I 
_CANNOT_ seem to connect to the remote customer using _ANY_ settings under 
CAE.  Rumba (that we're replacing) on our old system is no problem.  The old

version of NetSoft on my laptop is no problem.  CAE _IS_ a problem.

Can anyone help me here?
