Re: Problem with Remote Telnet to the 400

[John Ross <jross-ml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First the warning, you are opening the AS/400 up to everyone not just you,
and all services not just telnet.

go cfgtcp
2. Work with TCP/IP routes
1=Add
Route            Subnet           Next             Preferred
Destination      Mask             Hop              Interface

*DFTROUTE        *NONE           the.routers.ip.address     *NONE

If that works I would at least remove the *DFTROUTE and try your ISP's ip
address here to limit it to just the people who use your ISP and not the
world. I have not tried this I have always used default route.
