RE: Accessing AS400 Through Port Redirection

["Jonathan Mason" <jonathan.mason@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chris

Thanks for spelling it out to me, I had made a typo when I originally added
the default route so that the next hop was in fact my main server and not
the router.

Thanks to everyone for your help and guidance.

Best regards

Jonathan

Need to add a default route on your as400 using the address of your
router/firewall.

ADDTCPRTE RTEDEST(*DFTROUTE)
          SUBNETMASK(*NONE)
          NEXTHOP(ROUTERIPADDRERSS)

I have a model 150 running v4r5 at home which is connected to my home
network.  I also have a cable broadband connection to my network with a
static IP address and a Draytek Vigor 2104p router peforming NAT and Port
Redirection.

I want to be able to access the AS/400 over the internet, and have set up
Port Redirection to map a specific port to the AS/400 (for example Port 4000
being redirected to the AS/400's port 80).  However, when I try to connect
from outside of the network I get no response from the AS/400.  Looking at
the router, I can see that the Port Redirection has generated the correct
address and port, but the AS/400 doesn't pick it up.

Is there anything that needs to be configured on the AS/400 that I may have
missed?  I can see web pages from within the network, but not from the
outside.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
