RE: AS/400 Access via the Internet

Lester,

Check the archives for this because I know we've talked about it.  I first
bought a LinkSys router that did exactly what you're describing, exchanged
it - same problem.  Then I replaced it with a NetGear router and I've had no
problems since.  But, others have posted that they use LinkSys with no
problems.  Look for posts from John Taylor because he went all out looking
for the cause.  I don't know what he wound up doing.
