I got some off list help on this. I did not have the 170 config'd correctly. I had to ADDTCPRTE to add a *DFTROUTE from the as400 to the router. Once I did that, I was able to use port forwarding on the linksys and telnet to the 400 from the internet. -Steve Richter -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Steve Richter Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 11:59 AM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: RE: iSeries to Internet via Router (was: Why is the iSeries so slow) The LinkSys is not working out for me. I want to forward the telnet port from the router to my 170 but I cant get it to work. Everything works outbound and I can ping the routers static ip addr from the internet, but that is it. Putting the 170's 192.xxx ip addr in the dmz of the router doesnt allow me to telnet to it, and like I said, forwarding the telnet port to the ip addr of the 170 doesnt help either. I spent half an hour with linksys tech support and more time than that on my own, so I am giving up. ( actually, it does not handle VPN, so the LinkSys was a short term solution all along ) I have found two routers, the cisco 831 and the dlink dfl 300, that sell for < $500 that provide vpn and look pretty good. http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=66 http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps380/ps4873/ -Steve -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Carl Galgano Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 8:16 AM To: 'Midrange Systems Technical Discussion' Subject: RE: iSeries to Internet via Router (was: Why is the iSeries so slow) You can either put the 400 in the DMZ (dangerous) of the Linksys, but that would totally expose the 400 to the internet, or you can just forward ports thru the Linksys to the AS400 (ie port 23 for telnet access). Just depends on what you want to do. One other thing about using the Linksys, if you are going to use the DHCP server built into the Linksys, the 400 will not obtain an address from it, so be sure to configure the interface on the AS400 and be sure to use an IP address that is not in the range of the Linksys's DHCP server. David is correct, the Linksys is a consumer grade product, but can handle most task nicely. cjg Carl J.

The linksys router is consumer grade, so don't expect it to be as robust as a a full blown router... but it should do the job quite adequately. david _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l. _______________________________________________ This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
