Yes, you are right in that the blocked NetBios ports will prevent the Network Neighborhood functionality. Usually, Cable Modems are relatively dump pieces of equipment, with no firewall or filtering capabilities. ATT is probably performing the filtering downstream somewhere. So there may not be much you can do to turn off the filtering. But you do have the opportunity to setup and test the AS/400 VPN services! Once the VPN tunnel is established, this issue of blocking NetBios should go away. The VPN will carry any permitted traffic just like a private WAN. You would then be able to allow only VPN connections on your 400 and that would help with the security issue! Best Regards Fritz Hayes Atwater Associates <snip> | | I wonder if I can disable that filtering at the cable modem. Or make my | Win98 use different ports for NETBIOS. Or just wait. :-( |
