Re: Connect via telnet to the internal AS/400 from the internet.

Did you try the "telnet" command from a windows system's command line
or did you start your emulator ? (which one ?)
Traceroute may not always work, sometimes gateways suppress ICMP packets.
Are there other routes defined on your AS/400 ?
Is the router and the AS/400 in the same subnet ?
Can you ping the router from an AS/400 command line ?

Give some more info and we are able to help you.

 Do you have a default route on your AS400 to your Linksys Router?  I would
 first enable SSL for your AS400 Telnet server and open 992 not the unsecured
 23.  But either way, you will need to do one of the two:
 1. have a default route to your Linksys router
 2. NAT inbound at our Linksys router to your internal IP scheme.

I would: ADDTCPRTE RTEDEST(*DFTROUTE)
SUBNETMASK(*NONE) NEXTHOP(LINKSYS router IP address)
