RE: Grumble...

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've heard other people say the same (that they've gotten the AS/400 to work
on a 10. network).  Unfortunately, I can't and the combined wisdom of this
mailing list has been unable to remedy the problem.  While I'm no TCP/IP
expert, routing to the outside world SHOULD be as easy as setting my address
and then pointing my *DFTROUTE to my router.  But that's not been the case,
and it's been quite frustrating.

Oh well, my new box is coming shortly, so we'll see if V4R5 takes care of
the problem.  And if you think I'm doing something wrong, please feel free
to enlighten me.

Joe
