RE: Remote Site Cannot Connect

Jim,

Thanks. I was having a(nother) brain cramp. I knew I have seen it before.

Whenever I try to run the "Check Service Level," I get something about
the source directory I specified (which is the CD drive) does not
contain iSeries Access install media, and I see nothing in the
properties to change this behavior.

You said data transfer works. Do other aspects of Client/iSeries
Access like iNav work, i.e. everything but PC5250?

Have you considered uninstalling/reinstalling iSeries Access and
making sure the latest SP is installed?

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.
