VPN ia pretty cool, but in some cases has been inconsistent. Had lots of trouble under WIn98 and upgraded to W2K professional. The IP stack in it is a little more robust. MS PPTP VPN usually works pretty well and most firewalls support it, I have used Checkpoints SecRemote and it always does strange things to my IP settings, and I have installed it and uninstalled it a dozen times. It also does not work very well through my home proxy server. I have another client that uses a client called VS Client and it seems to work the best. We have even been able to get Harbinger's GUI EDI mapper to talk to the 400 over the VPN, sometimes that has been a challenge to get to work when the client PC and AS400 are on the same LAN, much less WAN. cjg Carl J.

I often wish all our customers had the methods in place to allow for AS/400 services over the Internet. Most of them rely on us to suggest, setup and train the computer solutions. Many network administrators and networking consultants don't understand the AS/400. To them, the AS/400 is a very isolated box that they either ignore and/or totally protect from something like the Internet. I like the VPN approach but for some reason it's not always easy to install. I had someone walk me through the setup a year or so ago and everything worked fine, but I know a few companies struggling to manage the project to completion. Carl...

We are using a zillion different methods for connecting to customers over the internet, generally the client specifies the connection. I probably have every VPN client known to man on my PC, but I usually use the PCOM emulator, although I do not use CA, except where required (like ops navigator). cjg Carl J.

Carl... We don't publish or publicize Socket Sidewinder on our site, if that's your question. I don't see any reason why you couldn't host it on a FTP site. Have you tried it yet? If you can get your customers to install it, you'll be able to connect to their AS/400 in a matter of seconds without actually putting the AS/400 'on the Net'. The savings in network hardware and long distance charges easily justifies the use of Socket Sidewinder and Mocha. Your customers can use it and Mocha, but make sure they understand this is a TN5250 session only and is definitely not a replacement to CA/400. Carl... No credit, no crap is required or allowed.

Since this was a recent topic regarding 5250 to the AS/400, I thought I might respond again as well. Last time I made an 'simple offer' to the group and many of you took me up on it. I had the group email me at mailto:ken@cm-inc.com to get a copy for free. The only condition was to not involve much of my time and that certainly has been the case. What is Socket Sidewinder? We at CMI use and have our customers use Socket Sidewinder. I wrote Socket Sidewinder myself as I was dabbling with code in Visual Basic. What this program essentially does is respond and control TCP/IP connections and data streams. I listens for a connection on a configurable port and establishes a connection to a different IP address and port. Using it and Mocha TN5250, the Telnet client connects to Socket Sidewinder on an obscure port (we use a four digit number to minimize compatibility issues). This obscure port is configured in the advanced options of Mocha connection dialog boxes. Having an obscure port 'hides' the Telnet capabilities but a 'Port Sniffer' can find it. Upon connection Socket Sidewinder itself connects to the AS/400's port 23. Once connection the connections are established, Winsock data arrival are 'redirected' to the partner connection. Using Socket Sidewinder does not require any network address translation or proxy unless the PC run it requires one to connect to either the AS/400 or the Internet. We at CMI run ours on an NT server but I've been able to use it on my Windows 98 machine at home. BTW... If any of you who downloaded, installed and configured had any or no success, let me know. Feedback is a great design tool. For those of you who might want a copy as well, the 'simple offer' still stands. Ken Slaugh (707) 795-1512 x118 Chouinard & Myhre, Inc.

On your PC you need a 5250 emulator. See www.mochsoft.dk. On the 400 it really depends on how the connection to the internet is made, if your AS400 is behind a firewall, or proxy server. You need to talk to your network guys to see if the AS400 has an external IP address, or if there is a specific port on your router/firewall/proxy server that will forward telnet requests to port 23 on the AS/400. If can supply more info, I'm sure someone can help. cjg I just reread your message, and am now confused as to exactly what you are asking. Are you looking to start a 5250 session inside a web page (again mochasoft has a java client that you can load in a browser) , or use your web browser as the client (like using WSG) Carl J.
