RE: Help: Can't ping AS400 through a VPN

[David Wright <dwright@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try connecting using Telnet...

Client Access Express uses the Telnet ports, but also maintains a number of 
other open ports to the 400...some of which may be blocked by your firewall/VPN.

I recommend MochaSoft TN5250 as a pure Telnet client...  Small, fast, and very 
inexpensive...

Of course, if you cannot connect via Telnet either, then it is a route or DNS 
problem...

1) When you ping, try upsing the IP instead of the name.
2) In the VPN connection setup, try checking/unchecking the advanced option to 
use default gateway on remote network.

On my setup, I do NOT use the 'default gateway on the remote network', and I 
add the remote DNS servers IP address to my VPN connections DNS Server list...

HTH,
David
