Re: Connecting CA Express via Internet to AS/400 -- MIDRANGE-L

Gary, this isn't my site.  It's James Kilgore's.  I just looked it up 
again in the  RPG archives here and the e-mail included this section:

"They are in the RPG manuals.  If you want to save yourself some keying 
time,
telnet to 63.167.147.10, signon on as wyatterp, go to menu wyatterp and 
you will
have a command line.

From there WRKMBRPDM to either library #ILECPY or #RPGCPY and look for 
members
starting with $INF and copy/paste"

It'll let you know if you're PC side is set up OK.  By the way, the place 
you type in the IP address/name  is a drop down box.  That means one 
session definition can be used for several sites just by selecting the 
site in the dropdown box.  Very handy, especially if you use your own 
keyboard map and macros.

Hi Booth,

That is exactly what I haven't been able to find in any documentation.  So 
if I 
understand it correctly where it says "System name" if it's connecting on 
a 
local lan it wants System name.  But if it's on a remote machine it wants 
Domain Name or IP address.  That was very nice of you to publish an IP 
address for me to test CA to see if the remote PC is configured correctly. 
 
Thank you.  When I put in your test IP CA asks me for a user ID and 
password before I get to a signon screen.  Do you by chance have a user ID 

and password that does nothing but sign someone off the system.  I would 
like to see a signon screen so I could verify that Express is configured 
correctly but I certainly don't want you to compromise your security.

Thanks a buch,

Gary Kuznitz
