Re: iSeries to the Internet... almost?

["Mike Silvers" <msilvers@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
