Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't replied for a while. My 10 year old
son and I have spent the last couple of weeks riding ATVs and dirt
bikes in the beautiful mountain trails of West Virginia. Now, back
to the real world. Here's where I am at now:

After speaking with IBM, I ordered and applied some PTFs that I was
missing. I also installed the following Java programs that were
missing:

5722JV1 *COMPATIBLE IBM Developer Kit for Java
5722JV1 *COMPATIBLE Java Developer Kit 1.3
5722JV1 *COMPATIBLE Java Developer Kit 1.4
5722JV1 *COMPATIBLE Java Developer Kit 5.0
5722JV1 *COMPATIBLE J2SE 5.0 32 bit

I purchased a D-Link router. The internet IP address for the router
is 74.219.167.174 (static IP assigned by ISP) and a network IP address
of 192.168.0.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

On my iSeries, the TCP/IP interface (OPT 1) is now setup as:

Internet Subnet Line Line
Address Mask Description Type
192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0 ETHLIN *ELAN

The TCP/IP routes (OPT 2) is now:

Route Subnet Next Preferred
Destination Mask Hop Interface
*DFTROUTE *NONE 192.168.0.1 *NONE

The TCP/IP host table entries are:

Internet Host
Address Name
127.0.0.1 LOOPBACK
LOCALHOST
198.168.0.2 DDMSONLINE.COM
DDMSPROD.DDMSONLINE.COM

The TCP/IP domain information (12) is:

Host Name: DDMSPROD
Domain Name: DDMSONLINE.COM
Domain name server: 65.24.0.168
65.24.0.169

I am able to ping out (WWW.GOOGLE.COM) successfully but I cannot get
to the iSeries from the "outside".

I installed CGIDEV2 and am able to successfully execute the "test your
http server functionality" CGI
(http://192.168.0.2:8014/cgidev2o/hello.mbr).

On the router admin screen there is a place to setup a "Virtual Server
List' where I believe I have to setup the iSeries so that it can be
accessed from the outside. My question is (please excuse my TCP/IP
ignorance), how do I determine which ports to use? The admin screen
want a Public port # and a private port number.

Thanks...
