Re: iSeries to the Internet... almost?

Is the default route set to the gateway (usually the firewall)?

If you do GO CFGTCP and take option 2, you should see an entry in the table
with *DFTROUTE and a subnet mask of *NONE.  The IP address should be that of
your gateway to the internet.

You may have other routs in the table.  Unless you are the network
administrator, I would not recommend changing them.
