The only reason you'd need DMZ access on your side is if you were directly accessing the AS/400 on the other side, (ie, not via VPN). Now, if someone has their as/400 directly on the net with all the required Client Access ports accessible they have a _MAJOR_ problem. -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III President Tech Software (516)627-3800 x11 WaldenL@TechSoftInc.com http://www.TechSoftInc.com -----Original Message----- From: Shea, David [mailto:DShea@arctools.com] Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 22:24 To: 'midrange-l@midrange.com' Subject: RE: AS/400 Access via the Internet Client access does use a bunch of odd ports. Chances are that you'll need to be the DMZ machine to get it to work right. Especially if you're using Code/400. The As/400 creates a connection from it to the client box (behind your firewall). If you don't forward that port correctly, it won't work. DMZ is dangerous, though, so be sure you need it. DMZ means near-wide-open access from the web to your PC. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Go... FASTER! Without an upgrade!

Both work well and work simultaneously. This does trigger a thought in my mind though. For other reasons all together I have gone into the LinkSys router configuration under "Advanced" and changed my machine to be in the DMZ. Maybe thats needed for Client Access? If so, I lucked out. -------------------------------------------- Booth Martin MartinB@Goddard.edu 802-454-8315 x235 -------------------------------------------- -------Original Message------- From: midrange-l@midrange.com Date: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 11:36:49 PM To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: 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.
