Re: Connecting i5 Express to Internet

When you ping the i5 from your laptop, is it by domain name or IP address?

You're pinging is doing exactly what it should be. Which means DNS is set
up properly. See how it resolved the domain to an IP? They probably have
ping turned off, which is why no reply. Try google.com, they usually
respond to pings.

Now, how is your laptop connected to the internet?

OK. I removed the host table entries and changed the next hop to the
IP address of the gateway. I restarted TCP/IP.

Now I can ping DDMSONLINE.COM (this i5) and it work's OK. I cannot
ping the i5 from my laptop (I get the message: Request timed out).
And if I try to ping another website from the i5 I get the messages:

Verifying connection to host system MICROSOFT.COM at address
207.46.232.182
No response from host within 1 seconds for connection
verification 1,2,3,4,5

Anything else I'm missing?

Sorry, I saw you did set up the DNS entries.

Anyhow, remove the host table entires. Those just mess stuff up. Rely
instead on your DNS servers to do that.

And, since you're connecting directly to your ISP, the next hop
shouldn't be
your static IP address. It's normally the IP address of a router or
gateway. Since you don't have one.. well, maybe you don't need it?

Anyhow, I'd suggest going to Best Buy/Circuit City, etc, and
picking up a
router if you don't have one already. Go through that. Most
have built in
firewalls and can do the routing for you.

Subject: [WEB400] Connecting i5 Express to Internet


I am trying to connect an iSeries 515 to the internet and would like
some guidance. This is my first try at this side of things after 20
years of programming on the midrange. I am signed on to the i5
using the System Console attached to the T6 port.

1. I have a static IP address from my ISP.

2. I configured the ethernet line on the iSeries (defined to use
the T5 port).

3. I setup the TCP/IP interfaces as follows:

Internet Address SubNet Line Desc
Line Type
74.219.167.174 255.255.255.252 ETHLIN *ELAN
127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 *LOOPBACK *NONE


4. I setup the TCP/IP Routes

Destination Mask Next Hop Interface
*DFTROUTE *NONE 74.219.167.174 *NONE

5. Setup the TCP/IP host table entries

Internet address Host Name
74.219.167.174 S1048D02
DDMSONLINE
DDMSONLINE.COM

127.0.0.1 LOOPBACK
LOCALHOST

6. Changed TCP/IP Domain

Host name: DDMSONLINE
Domain Name: DDMSONLINE.COM

DNS Internet address: 65.24.0.168
65.24.0.169

7. I plugged the i5 into the internet modem / router

8. Started TCP/IP and the TCP/IP server

When I try to PING the domain name DDMSONLINE.com it says:

Verifying connection to host system S1048D02 at address 74.219.167.174
Cannot reach remote system


Where do I go from here?

Thanks in advance...
Rich..
