Re: Can't get a remote console from home

Have you succeeded from home before?
    - If so, what's changed?
    - If not, then all cards are on the table.

Can you connect to the HMC Web interface from home?
    - If Yes then it's not IP addressing/routing.
    - If NO then check the IP address of your PC when at home. Often 
192.168.something. Also check the IP address of the interface from the 
HMC to the FSP on your POWER system. If it's in the same IP range as 
your PC at home, you are toast. You'll need to work that out with the 
folks that support your VPN.

Do you have at least iSeries Access V5R4 on your PC at home?
    - Earlier versions don't understand Q#HMC and prompt you for a 
password anyway. You won't succeed in that case.
