RE: RE: Accessing AS400 Through Port Redirection

Ok -- two things -- first -- a web page is not required to sign on to
the 400.  Second, from what you described, the external traffic going to
the web server originates from port 4000 in the external world.  If you
would like the web page to be displayed to the outside world, the
external port should be port 80.  So -- there should be no redirection
going on.  The router should be set to allow port 80 to pass thru to
192.168.0.100.

If you would like to have remote access, I would recommend one of two
ways.  The first is Client Access with SSL encryption.  The second way
would be a VPN to your network and sign on using either Client Access
(no SSL) or Rumba.

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
