RE: Accessing AS400 Through Port Redirection

When you are trying to access the web page from the external world, are
you using the url: http://ipaddress:4000/ ?

Subject: Accessing AS400 Through Port Redirection

I have a model 150 running v4r5 at home which is connected to my home
network.  I also have a cable broadband connection to my network with a
static IP address and a Draytek Vigor 2104p router peforming NAT and
Port Redirection.

I want to be able to access the AS/400 over the internet, and have set
up Port Redirection to map a specific port to the AS/400 (for example
Port 4000 being redirected to the AS/400's port 80).  However, when I
try to connect from outside of the network I get no response from the
AS/400.  Looking at the router, I can see that the Port Redirection has
generated the correct address and port, but the AS/400 doesn't pick it
up.

Is there anything that needs to be configured on the AS/400 that I may
have missed?  I can see web pages from within the network, but not from
the outside.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Jonathan
