Re: Stupid "double" question about Management Central -- MIDRANGE-L

Neil, I think you are on the right track! Just before reading your message, and following Booth Martin's suggestion, just for the sake of testing, I changed my Internet config in W98 to NOT-dial up... Then started the 5250 session to the local AS/400 and it opened a window (first time I've ever seen it) requesting user name and password for the remote system, with a heading message of the type "since this system is required for the translation table needed for this resource" ! I had configured my local session to use Char Set 1145 which is for today's Spanish 'Euro' currency, while the small AS/400 still uses Char Set 284 which was normal in the old days. I changed the session Char Set back to 284, tried it again, and then everything worked! No dial at all!

So, now I don't get the unnecesary dial up ... This solves my second original question. First question, though, how to get rid of the Central Management function, is still pending, ... and as you mentioned, I fear if no CA expert points me a solution, I'll end up uninstalling CAExpress and reinstall from scratch !

Thanks to all who answered.
Antonio

I think this is related to a Translation Table that Ops Nav tries to access from the managing system. My solution for this was to change the managing system to a local one, but as you say, you don't have this option due to the release of OS/400 on your local system. So unless some CA Expert has a way to stop this behaviour all I could suggest is a complete uninstall and reinstall of CA/400 & OpsNav. Make sure after the uninstall that all files are removed.

Re: Stupid "double" question about Management Central
Thanks to Jan Megannon and Booth Martin for their answers, BUT... the second question is NOT the auto dial issue in itself, since I have configured my Internet connection thru a modem and I want it to start automatically whenever I start Netscape/I.Explorer... So I don't want to inactivate the autodial. May be I didn't explain myself clear enough, but the question should have been: if my connection to the local small AS/400 is in my local ethernet , why should modem dial up start? Jan, as you asked , I'm using W98SE and CAExpress 4.5. When I start 5250 Emulation to the small, local, AS/400, the modem will start, why ??? , since it is NOT needed for the AS/400 in in the local ethernet. If I cancel the modem connection, I still get the connection to my small AS/400 work... so dial up is not needed but fires up! My guess is the following: As I explained in my original message, I had Central Management configured for a remote AS/400... which needs dial up connection. I guess when I try connection to my local AS/400, Central Management "some how tries to verify something ???...", which forces the dial up connection to the remote Central Management AS/400... That's why I want to get rid of this Central Management function, which I really don't need. Just configured it time ago for testing only, and now I cannot get rid of it... But if my guess is correct, why starting emulation to the local system fires the dial up connection to remote Central Management?
Thanks,
Antonio
