Hi Can you please tell me how I can connect my AS/400 to my PC? My HMC is broken. Here is the scenario. Please explain to me in very simple words because I do not want to read IBM's 300 pages book. 1. I have an AS/400 Model 520. I have internet so I have a router. I have a PC with Client Access. Let's say version 5.9. Now please tell me in easy words because I am not very good with connections. Regards MK

What does a router and internet have to do with your question? Are you trying to access the system across the internet? . And there is no iSeries Access version 5.9, so you're probably referring to the Personal Communications emulator. (the iSeries Access version would be 6.1 in that case.) If so, it'll be harder to connect across the internet. . You should use a simpler emulator such as Mochasoft, so you won't need the extra ports to be opened. You can use the simple Windows telnet command to work through any initial connection problems. If you can't connect with Windows telnet, it's likely that you won't be able to connect at all unless you're directly connected to the same network as the AS/400. . Tom
