Problems with new V5R2 install

[tomh@xxxxxxxxx]

We received a new 9406-270 with v5r2 loaded last week.  I've had a devil of a
time getting things working properly (thanks to whomever installed the cards
in the wrong slots).  I need some help resolving a few issues with the new
box:

I have configured TCP/IP on the new iSeries with address 192.168.30.11, subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0   (I also have a v4r5 box, with WinNT Server 4.0 (sp6a)
on its INS working flawlessly).


1. I have installed Windows NT Server 4.0 (SP6a) on the INS, TCP/IP address
192.168.30.20, subnet mask 255.255.255.0.  It works beautifully - except that
I can't ping the new iSeries.  I can ping every other device
(including the v4r5 box that the v5r2 box is replacing).  I can ping the NT
box from the iSeries, just can't go the other way.  I installed iSeries Access
for Windows v5r2m0 (with latest service pack) and was unable to establish a
session with the new iSeries system.  I am able to establish a session with
the old v4r5 box (at address 192.168.30.13) from the new INS, and I can
establish a session with my new v5r2 system from any other PC - just not from
the WinNT in the new box.

I told my BP about this, and some tech there asked 'Why would you want to ping
your 400 from the NT side? And why would you want to install Client Access on
it (the NT Server box)? That's never been supported.'  Is this true - am I
banned from accessing my iSeries from Windows on the INS?  If not true, what
do I need to do to get it working like I need?  It works without a hitch on my
v4r5 box and its' NT.


2. Surely related: I open a DOS session on the new WinNT box, and attempt to
FTP to the iSeries (C:\>ftp 192.168.30.20).  I get an FTP message saying that
the connection timed out.


3. When attempting to FTP to my new WinNT box from either of my iSeries boxes
(ftp '192.168.30.11'), I'm prompted for the user id and password, which I
supply.  I'm immediately given a message in the iSeries FTP session: 530 Not
able to set ASP group for user TOM; logon rejected.'  - what's that all about?
 This does not happen when I FTP to the WinNT on the v4r5 box.


4. How do I copy my SSL settings from the v4r5 box to our new v5r2 box?
