Telnet on 23 should be OK but Client Access and Mocha aren't really Telnet,
are they?
Still, no matter what method/client/software you use you should first test
it within your internal network by going straight to the IP address of the
AS/400. If it doesn't work internally it ain't gonna work from the
Internet.

Isn't 5250 merely telnet, in this case? Isn't that on the standard port
23? Or does not Linksys support redirection of port 23?

Re: RE: RE: Accessing AS400 Through Port Redirection
There seems to be some confusion as to how you are attempting access (web
browser, Client Access, etc). I've got a Linksys router that does FTP
port
redirection to a PC-based ftp server. The router recognizes the FTP
request and automatically redirects to the designated internal IP address.
A 5250 session is not FTP or HTTP which typical come in on standard ports
so it won't redirect it. That's why you need to specify a port. You can
*open* a port to the AS/400 but you will have to specify it when you
connect.
If you are trying to connect with a web browser and set up HTTP port
redirection to the AS/400 I don't think that would work because that would
be more like using the AS/400 as a HTTP server which isn't really what you
want.

It was not clear that you are specifying the external port when you try to
connect to this IP address from the outside. You must put :4000 after
the IP address, otherwise there is nothing to forward through the router.
http://yourexternalip:4000
If you want to come in with Client Access, there is a whole raft of ports
you need to open up. The VPN suggestion is more secure. LinkSys makes some
nice VPN routers/appliances that can also do port redirection to some
extent, if needed. You either need a client on the remote computers or set
up a VPN "dialup" connection in Windows.
