Re: RE: Accessing AS400 Through Port Redirection

Hi Mike,

No, I use my registered domain address which gets the request to the router.  
The AS400 is on a private address, 192.168.0.100, and the router redirects port 
4000 to 192.168.0.100:80

Ultimately I want to be able to sign on to the AS400 over the internet when I'm 
working away from home - which happens a lot these days.

All the best

Jonathan
