Re: Connecting i5 Express to Internet

You will want to set up port forwarding for the applications you want to
use.

80 for HTTP is the default. Map from port 80 to the IP of your As/400 on
port 80.
For the others, a quick google search should show you the default ports to
use.

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...
