Is anyone running the iSeries Navigator for Wireless product? (5722-XP1)
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/navigator/pervasive.html

I'd really like to know if anyone has this working.  I have it working
internally on our intranet, but I've been working with Suportline for over a
month and still can't get it to work ouside of the firewall.  Supportline
first suggested that we open port 80 on the firewall(they "believe that
login uses this port") and is now telling me that "Firewall configuration"
is a Consultline issue.

MCP is accessed with the url
http://<yoursystemname>:8110/servlet/McYpvPervasive  In our specific case,
the system is available to our intranet as ams400.ourdomain.com or
172.x.x.x.  This system is also available to the outside internet at
http://208.x.x.x/  Port 80 is not open.  Ports 8110 through 8121 are open.
When a request comes in through the firewall for
http://208.x.x.x:8110/servlet/McYpvPervasive it gets NATed to
http://172.x.x.x:8110/servlet/McYpvPervasive  I receive the login dialogue
box, fill in the user ID and PW and click OK.  The next entry in the
firewall log is an INCOMING request from 172.x.x.x to 208.x.x.x that looks
like this:

Action:                 Drop
Service:                449
Source:                 172.x.x.x
Destination:            208.x.x.x
Protocol:               tcp
Rule:                   69
Source Port:            41772

And the page times out.  Service 449 is the Server Mapper(as-svrmap) port.

My questions are: If the webserver is talking to itself why does it route
out and back in through the firewall?  Can't you define something so that
the webserver understands that the request routed to it can be handled
internally?

Thanks for your help,
