as400 cannot ping PC
Steve Richter
linksys router that connects everyone to the internet.
Everything is working, but I cannot ping the pc from the as400.
I can client access from the PC to the as400 and the as400 tells me
its ip address is 192.168.1.8. Which matches of course with what
ipconfig displays on the PC.
The as400 is 192.168.1.160. I can ping it from the pc.
The as400 can ping the linksys router. Its ip addr is 192.168.1.1.
There is no firewall running on the PC, the router or the as400. Why
would the as400 not be able to ping the pc?
thanks,
Steve Richter

What is the route defined on your 400 setup??
You cannot ping 192.168.1.8?? Are you using this IP for something
else on your network by chance.

I could be wrong but I didn't think Win2000 by default would respond
to a ping request. Doesn't IP services have to be running on the
machine in order for that to happen?

192.168.1.1 is my linksys router. the 400 is 192.168.1.160 and my pc
is 192.168.1.8. The PC can ping the 400, but the 400 cannot ping the
PC.
The reason I want to use ping is because RUNRMTCMD does not connect to
the pc either. I started the client access remote command service and
I think opened up the security to accept *none as the user name.

Can you ping the PC from any other PC? Perhaps it's set not to answer
to ping. As I remember Win2000 without some network services selected
at install does not.

command netstat on the AS/400.
Menu 2: Is there only a DFTROUTE to the router or anything else?
Menu 1: Do you have a proper subnet mask like 192.168.0.0 or
192.168.1.0? The router would be found by DFTROUTE even if there is
something wrong here.
Can you ping the AS/400 from the AS/400?

redirect internally.

ok, since I started this ...
I have a home office setup. In one room is a PC, the 400 and a dlink
mini hub. In the other room is a PC, a linksys router, a dsl modem
and another dlink mini hub. The equipment in each room is networked
to the mini hubs and then the two hubs are up linked ( there is a
switch on the bottom of the hub ) to each other.
room1:
linksys router: 192.168.1.1
w2k pc#1: 192.168.1.3
room2:
w2k pc#2: 192.168.1.8
as400: 192.168.1.160
there is a zone alarm firewall on pc#1. it has been turned off. no
firewall on the other equipment.
I just fired everyone up and start pinging:
the 400 can ping out of the network to the internet
the 400 can ping itself
the 400 can ping the router
the 400 cannot ping pc#1 or pc#2
pc#2 can ping the as400, the router and the internet
pc#2 cannot ping pc#1 ????
pc#1 can ping everything ( Pc#2, as400, router, the internet )
I could blame the problem on the 400 because it cannot ping either PC.
But I cant explain why one PC can ping the other, but not the other
way around!
The only reason I am doing this is because I cannot get RUNRMTCMD to
work from 400 to PC. So whatever, thanks for the help.

from the Host Table?
What is the subnet mask on the AS400's interface?

it doesn't need to use the gateway

Thanks Terrence and others. I added the router to 192.168.1.8 but the
ping still does not happen. I even re-ipled the as400. I do have a
cisco soho router I can use. I just have not had the need to connect
it since the linksys sr41 was working well.

Am I correct?
If you are using hubs, make sure that the AS400 & PC2 are not in the uplink
connection on the hub. Also make sure that the hubs are not connected from
uplink to uplink.
On the linksys, check the Dymanic Routing tab. Do you have the mode as
Gateway? In the Static Routing Tab, are the entries set to :
Static Routing:
1 ---2 ---3 ---4 ---5 ---6 ---7 ---8 ---9 ---10 ---11 ---12 ---13 ---14 ---1
5 ---16 ---17 ---18 ---19 ---20 --- (Select Route entry)
Destination LAN IP: ...
Subnet Mask: ...
Default Gateway: ...
Hop Count
(Metric, max. is 15):
interface: LANWAN

P.S.
The " 192.168.1.8 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.8 *NONE "
is not required.
