When you say that the FQDN and IP match up, are you saying that the Work

you saying that it should be pingable or?

The IP address for the IBM i on my LPAR is 10.0.10.205 (at least, one of
the IP addresses assigned to the line description is). I have that IP
assigned to VASi5.valadd.com in the host table entries. When I access
Navigator from my browser on the local network I type in
10.0.10.205:2001 and I get a very nice looking log in prompt and then
see the menu. Basically every option on the menu returns TCTUI1003E
just like Buzz.

I DO get a security warning from Chrome that the certificate isn't
trusted when I access the page originally but that is about all I see.

I failed to provide detail, but when I access Navigator For i, I use an IP &
port
instead of the FQDN in the host table. And, my browser of choice is Chrome,
which
also gets the cert warning.

So, I gave up and 'entered the matrix' of IBM Support. Turns out that, even
though
you'll still get the cert warning, using IE works (FF too). It worked
remotely as
well as locally. (Still get errors when looking at the disks, but this may
be due
to the requirement of logging in under SST?)

Strange, I don't remember having to change browsers in order to use the
Navigator. The
only difference I could remotely attribute to this issue was that we changed
to a Power 7
box (and restored the entire system from our old 520).

BTW, enjoyed your sessions at last month's COMMON...
