Re: Workstation gateway and firewalls

I wouldn't get too enamored with WSG.  IBM dropped it like a bad habit.

I've been playing with Workstation Gateway.  Somewhat crude, but could be
useful in a pinch, or where telnet access is not available.

I can get it to work from my internal network just fine.  I can get a 
signon
screen from the outside through my firewall, but as soon as I sign on, the
URL changes from

http://24.x.x.x:5061/wsg

to

http://192.168.x.x:5010/WSG/197526/QTMTWSG/QTWSG16732 

192.168.x.x is my internal network.  So, obviously this won't work and my
connection is lost.

It appears that WSG is plugging in the local machine's IP address into the
http:// line.  I don't see any configuration parameter anyplace that would
fix this.  Does anyone have a workaround?  I don't want to put my AS/400 
on
the outside IP.

Thanks.
