Re: any update to II12227? (ports required for iseries access for windows)

My firewall log showed dropped packets to port 9475, remote command. Enabling that port made the connections work again. (Though clicking OK on the error and waiting ever so patiently also worked as did using tn5250 instead of iseries access for windows.) 


Does the firewall silently drop the connection request, or does it
reject it?  Try actively refusing the connection on the 9475 port.

Also, if you have a mind, you could sniff the packets with ethereal and
see what it it trying to do.

By default, I drop rather than refuse. I like it that way. The problem wasn't difficult to solve, I was just hoping for updated documentation from IBM.

"When you connect using PC5250 emulation, underneath the covers it is using AppAdmin to query the OS/400 for the user settings of the user profile you use to connect to OS/400. AppAdmin uses the remote command to query OS/400. Make sure the AS-RMTCMD daemon job is up and in a listen state by doing a NETSTAT *CNN command. You should see AS-RMTCMD in listen state on port(s) 8475 and 9475 depending if you are using SSL."

I don't see a date on that document or a version number referenced.
