You can use any socket app, my choice is TELNET, as you can set the remote port 
to connect to. For example, if I have a sockets program I am writing on one 
AS/400 that listens on say port 5432, I can go to another AS/400 (or PC) and 
TELNET to the server where the program is running telling TELNET to use port 
5432. TELNET will tell you whether is could connect to the server on that port 
or not, this is usually enough to tell you if the network is the problem or not.
