Have you checked that your telnet server is started?

To start it:

STRTCPSVR then prompt and put in *telnet
or STRTCPSVR SERVER(*TELNET)

From your PC use CWBPING. This will tell you what ports or services are failing. Plain old PING only tells you there is a physical connection.

Is the AS/400 behind a firewall? If so, you need to open ports 8470 thru 8479.

Naveens   140 pts.  |   Mar 19 2009  2:51PM GMT

Now also I have opened the ports 8470 thru 8479 even though I am getting the same error. Please help me Thanks in advance.

Try the STRHOSTSVR command, using the default *ALL.

please note that I haven’t given the option IP datagran forwardins as *yes in thechange TCP/IP attributes page. Is there any necessitity in doing so. Please help. Thanks in advance

Along with ports 8470 - 8479 you also need port 449 open.

LBurkett99   800 pts.  |   Mar 21 2009  5:57PM GMT

Make sure ports 449 and 8470 - 8479 are active on the AS/400.

Use the NETSTAT command and take option 3, Work with TCP/IP Connection Status. Use F14 to change the Local Port column from names to numbers. Pagedown until you get to the 84xx ports and be sure the state of these ports is Listen.

Are you familiar with iSeries Navigator?

Naveens   140 pts.  |   Mar 23 2009  1:26PM GMT

Here is a link to IBM’s Information Center about TCP/IP setup.

Yet now also I am having the same error. Please help me out its very urgent. I am not as/400 admin I am as/400 developer. So please give me clarification for TCP/IP connection details.

I have only made the changes to the work with TCP/IP interface and had given the external IP address to config there and also had given the made changes in TCP/IP routes and work with host table entry and TCP/IP domain information right now and started all the servers.

But when I am giving bwcping I am getting the error as shown above. I have also opened the appropriate ports for the communication also.

Please help me out thanks in advance.
