We have no local printers. All of our printers are network attached - ethernet. This way all PC's can easily share them, and they can be configured directly on the 400 also. But back in the bad old days of twinax you could do some weird stuff with Client Access. Like configure a local printer as a system printer. Then other PC's could print to that system printer and get stuff to print on that printer. When you have an AS/400 mindset and are ignorant of the PC capabilities, or had DOS pc's, it worked. What exactly are you trying to get from your 'connectivity'? -5250 display station emulation -PC printers to act as system printers -400 printers to act as PC printers -odbc We use straight Client Access. I've heard of people using Host On Demand. A true 5250 session within a browser.

Im pretty sure I have everything I need to get these ethernet cards installed and flying. Second: Everyone at this company is really new with this whole AS400 + TCP/IP. What software do you guys recommend for PC (Windows 9x/2k/XP/NT4) to AS/400 Connectivity. Software that allows you to use your local printer as a network printer? Software that is free (as in beer)? Software that is free (as in speech, GPL, etc.)? The program that I have been recommended to (but haven't used yet) is the one by BOS.
