Re: LAN Console: a "can't get there from here" problem. Suggestions?

Could you put a second NIC in the Windoze box with a static IP and a straight run to the 520/E4A? That would eliminate the firewall issue and give you a console inside the room (which I think would be helpful).

Thinking inside the box.....

Just went to start the process of migrating the console, and realized:

1. The only WinDoze box physically in the same room as the new 520/E4A is outside the firewall, while the new 520/E4A itself is inside.

2. Everything that is both physically in the same room AND inside the firewall is either OS/400 or Linux.

3. The software is on a DVD, and relatively few of the WinDoze boxes in the building have DVD drives.

I think I've gotten remote access to a DVD drive from my WinDoze box before, but I've always heard that it's a good idea to have a console in the same room as the box.
