Re: System i Access Ports

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Jon,

   The ports you need for NON-SSL:

    23 - This is Telnet, you knew that.
    446 - DRDA - Database Access
    449 - This is the 'Port Mapper'.  Note that you can escape without 
this one if you configure the connection to use the 'Standard Ports'
    8471 - The as-database port.
    8473 - The as-file port. Used constantly within Navigator.
    8475 - The as-RmtCmd port. Often used within navigator.
    8476 - The 'Signon Server.'  Take a good guess what it's good for. :-)

That will get you 99% of Navigator.
