Re: Network question.

If it is just a basic router, he shouldn't have to do any port forwarding.
If he has firewall features enabled, then he would,.

> At a basic level you would have to at least forward port 23 through your
router and to your AS400.  That would allow basic green screen access to the
AS400.  If the outside PCs are using client access and need the advanced
features of that (file xfer, etc), there are other ports that would need
forwarded as well (don't have that list handy at the moment).

ping from the outside in to the AS400 depending on the config of your router
and AS400.  You could just try to connect with Telnet from the outside and
see if you get at least a connection.  If you get that, then a basic
emulator should work.
