RE: How to determine telnet address

["Bob Voltz" <bob.voltz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe I am asking this question wrong.

The address of my system is using WRKTCPSTS is 10.1.1.1, which is correct
inhouse.

Documentation that I have says I should use 63.87.138.169 when outside the
company network.  This doesn't seem to work.

Bob,
Your telnet address is your IP address of your iSeries, if you do not know
this you can find this a number of different ways on the iSeries.  One way
would be to do the following on the command line:
WRKTCPSTS then take option 1  you should see a few address in this list and
in most cases the address you are looking for is the very first one and it
should be in a active status.  The default port for telnet is 23 if you need
that.
> From the network, depending on security of your network you can also do an
nslookup nameofiSeries from a command prompt using the name of your iSeries
and it should return this address also.
