RE: Grumble...

Joe,

        Your 10.1.1.* address needs a router or firewall or some means of being
"routed" or "natted" to an external public address.  Normally ( is there
such a thing ) you would have all of your private addresses inside of a
firewall.  Your firewall might translate, via NAT, your 10. private address
to an external and public address.  Your router may also perform this
function.

Do you know how to run a comm trace on your AS/400?  Do you have one of the
downloadable TRACERT utilities for the AS/400?  Is your one and only route
active?  A process called dead gateway processing will make your route
inactive for a period of time if your next hop cannot be pinged by the
AS/400.

Can't get my AS/400 to do any webserving.  All my machines have private
addresses and we all talk together wonderfully.  My NT machine and my W2K
machine can ping out just fine.  My AS/400 cannot.  I checked my routing
table, and I have only one entry, my *DFTROUTE, which points to my router:


      Route            Subnet           Next             Preferred
 Opt  Destination      Mask             Hop              Interface
      *DFTROUTE        *NONE            10.1.1.17        *NONE

Looks good to me.  But when I try to ping a real world address, I get
unsuccessful attempts.  The only thing I can think of is to try and use my
router's REALWORLD IP address.  I'll try that next.

Joe
