I have verified the connection from the client using the cwbping utility.
Everything, including Telnet, verifies. I have connected to our system from the client using Telnet from within the DOS command window; I get a signon panel.

They can run the Data Transfer process. The only difference (port-wise) is that it uses the database port (8471) rather than the telnet port (23).

I re-booted the PC; still no love.

I asked the network guy to check out the firewall and anything else he could think of. He'll get around to it when he can - whatever that means.

Have you run a NETSTAT *CNN to see if the remote site is connecting? If you see the telnet connection but they never get a sign on screen, it is on the client side or the network in between. If the telnet connections never hits, then it is one of the other servers that they are not reaching. Have you verified your connection settings as far as when to look up the IP address and/or port?

Kirk,

I think something was lost in either the thread or in my thoughts. The user
cannot signon at the remote site because they cannot get the PC5250 session
to connect to our system. I.e., no signon panel. So, unless I'm losing it
(another distinct possibility), the job description is not germane.
