RE: Software for signons on iSeries and network

Please bear with the grief on the first paragraph, the next paragraph may
help you,
There is no iSeries Access 5.9. And I am not just going Trevor on you and
saying it's now System i Access for Windows (or whatever the nom du jour
is). There simply is no 5.9, period, end of story. I don't give a shirt
what you see in the Help, About in 5250 emulation. That tells me nothing
that I want to take the time to cross reference to some version of System
i Access for windows. You're asking for free advice. I have no problem
with that, but please take the time to go into IBM i Access for Windows
Properties from the drill down from start, programs and tell us the
version, release, and service pack level from there.

When you go into Communications, Configure, Properties what do you have
for "User id sign on information"? I have mine set up to "Use System i
Navigator default". I have my connection in iNav set up to use Windows
user id and password - no prompting. So, if you use a separate user id or
password from Windows and i then you may get issues. If your password has
mixed case you will have issues (unless you do some serious
reconfiguration on your i). You may find it easier to use either all
upper case or all lower case.
