Hi...I've recently joined this forum and hope you can help. I have a PC running XP Pro and an AS400 170 running V5R2. Both have a standard 10/100 ethernet card. My problem is that I can't get my PC to access the AS400. I have 5250 emulation software but still no joy. I am not entirely sure what configurations to use as I have only just acquired the AS400.
Any help gratefully received.

What configuration did you set up on the AS400? Once you install the client, you'll need to setup how the client will talk to the AS400, via the ip address, port, terminal type (wyse60-25, VT100, etc), keyboard type and that's just for starters.
Look for a configuration guide on IBM's web site, that should help you get started. Don't forget to purchase your license while you're there.

The client is already installed and set up using TN5250 via port 23. When connected directly to the AS400 there is nothing. When connecting through the router either the PC will talk to the AS400 or the PC will talk to the internet....but never both at he same time.
Of course licences are installed! |

The configuration would be more seamless if you migrated to Windows Vista Ultimate. With Vista, the port and terminal type are immediately and automatically discoverable.
