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

[Philipp Rusch <philipp.rusch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
