Update: I guess it was in fact DirecWay (HughesNet) that was causing my
problem because once 5:00 P.M. central time came around, I'm back in
business again and can get to the iSeries through the outside IP address.
I'm happy that I can connect again, but I wasted a whole day trying to
figure this out. Very very annoying. I wish there was an alternative to
satellite for high-speed internet for remote locations.

Just do what I do. Escalate until you get an American.

Yep. I thought about calling them, but they never admit when they have
changed something, and I just don't have the patience today to put up with
the help desk that can barely speak English.

Are you paying for the static IP address? If so, they should be able to
assist you. Mine is static, and the cable modem is configured to pass all
traffic. I manage it at the router.

Not locally.
I have a DirecWay Satellite internet service though that my iSeries goes out
over (yeah, it's slow, but it's my only choice in the country) and if
Direcway (HughesNet) changes something they rarely have the courtesy to tell
their subscribers. That's the only other variable I can think of, and it's
the only one out of my control. So I really hope that's not it.

Any firewall or other networking changes?

Hi,
Until sometime yesterday or this morning, I was able to get to my iSeries
over the web using Telnet, FTP, PING, etc.. Now, for some reason, I
cannot
get to it.
I am able get to it with a local (internal) IP address and can telnet,
ftp,
ping, etc but nothing else.
To my knowledge, nothing has changed on my network. However, something
has
obviously changed somewhere and I'm out of ideas.
From my iSeries, I am able ping my modem with immediate response.
When I ping another IP address in the world, for example, 38.113.1.111, I
get a response back but it looks like this:
No response from host within 1 seconds for connection verification 3.
PING reply 3 from 38.113.1.111 took 1561 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 236.
(Duplicate)
No response from host within 1 seconds for connection verification 4.
PING reply 4 from 38.113.1.111 took 1610 ms. 256 bytes. TTL 236.
(Duplicate)
This is the same type of response I used to get anyway with a ping, even
when I could get to my iSeries through an outside IP address, so I don't
think it is significant that the ping on an outside IP address at first
fails, and then a duplicate request works. But maybe it is.
What else am I missing? The TCP/IP Interface for that outside IP address
is
started. The line is up. The TCP/IP Domain information has not changed
on
the iSeries from yesterday to today.
I'm lost.
Thanks,
Shannon O'Donnell
