RE: Client Access connecting via XP machines

 Bob Kohlndorfer -

 You need to be patch up to (at least) Service Level SI10376 for V5R1 to run on 
XP.  CA does not run correctly straight off the CD.

 You can find the fixes here: 
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/access/casp.htm

 This should do the trick.

 Can they Ping the AS400?

 Can they telnet to the AS400?

 Are the XP boxes at SP2 with the firewall on?

 For Client Access V5 R2 I had to download the latest client access fixes
 from IBM to get them to work with XP without hanging

 Can anyone point me in the right direction to trouble shoot my problem?
 I am trying to connect to an AS/400 running V5R1M0 with Client Access
 Express v5.0 for Windows 95, 98, NT and 2000.
 I am using a VPN connection to the local network which is working fine, but
 on 2 computers running Windows XP (Home and Pro) my connection to the AS/400
 times out.  I can connect from other machines from the same remote locations
 running Windows XP or ME.
 As far as I know the installations of Client Access are the same.  Are there
 different settings on the XP machines that would effect the connection?

 Any help would be appreciated.

 TIA,
 Bob Kohlndorfer
