RE: Remote Site Cannot Connect

Gary,

I did think about that. It's pointing to the correct host.

Jerry,

Have you looked at the .WS file to ensure they are pointing at the correct
host? Does it match one that works?

I just got off of the site (VNC) and brought up iSeries Navigator (V5R4).
Ran the Verify Connection... and everything, including Telnet verified.
Still get the same error when trying to start the PC5250 process.

Re-installing is an option. Still waiting for the network guy to see what
he can do, if anything. I'll check the SP level.

An additional note: Until a couple of weeks ago all of our remote
connections were connecting through system-generated session ids. I
re-configured (and tested!) all sessions (local and remote) to have specific
ids. I set the QAUTOCFG value to '0' (Off) and QAUTOVRT to '0' (zilch). I
re-tested all remote sessions after that; they all worked.

You said data transfer works. Do other aspects of Client/iSeries Access
like iNav work, i.e. everything but PC5250?

Have you considered uninstalling/reinstalling iSeries Access and making sure
the latest SP is installed?

I have verified the connection from the client using the cwbping utility.
Everything, including Telnet, verifies. I have connected to our
system from the client using Telnet from within the DOS command
window; I get a signon panel.

They can run the Data Transfer process. The only difference
(port-wise) is that it uses the database port (8471) rather than the
telnet port (23).

I re-booted the PC; still no love.

I asked the network guy to check out the firewall and anything else he
could think of. He'll get around to it when he can - whatever that means.

Have you run a NETSTAT *CNN to see if the remote site is connecting?
If you see the telnet connection but they never get a sign on screen,
it is on the client side or the network in between. If the telnet
connections never hits, then it is one of the other servers that they
are not reaching. Have you verified your connection settings as far
as when to look up the IP address and/or port?

Kirk,

I think something was lost in either the thread or in my thoughts.
The user cannot signon at the remote site because they cannot get the
PC5250 session to connect to our system. I.e., no signon panel. So,
unless I'm losing it (another distinct possibility), the job
description is not germane.
