The problem appears to be M$ networking - if 
you can see the work group the AS/400 is in, you can probably connect to
it - otherwise not, unless you are running NetBeui and WINS resolution
(which is not safe across the internet) - and if you were, you'd
probably see the work group. You could try using the IP address to do a
mapping - but I've just tried this via a VPN connection and failed.

Your mileage may vary, because I'm not sure of my set-up - not
having tried it before.
