RE: Access and Sprint Wifi problem

A lot of those wireless cards block ports. Cricket wireless blocked some
ports required for VPN access.

I finally found the error message:

but I'm still in the dark on what's happening.

* CWBCO1049 * * Back to top

*Cause*
The server was contacted, but refused the connection request.
*Recovery*
Make sure the host servers have been started on the server; see How to
Start OS/400 Host Socket Servers

Hi, Pat:

Is this an issue that has been introduced before? If so, I missed it, so
please forgive if these questions have been asked/answered before. (I
searched for Sprint on midrange-l and didn't find anything recent.)

Can you connect to this system from other servers? Does this system have a
public routable IP address (and are you using that?) What function are you
trying to perform through iSeries Access? What version of "access" are you
using?
