ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Depends entirely on your network configuration. You'll probably need to work with your network administrator (this is probably going to be true for any mechanism you want to use to download from ther AS/400 if you are not on a VPN. Ports are going to need to be opened on your firewall, and services may beed to be started on teh AS/400. This is a BIG security exposure, and I would almost never recommend it, especially for a productions system.
If you are working remotely with no VPN, then you must either be working on an AS/400 this is directly exposed to the internet, or behind a firewall with port 23 opened (and NAT configured if the AS/400 is privately-addressed) in order to be able to use the TN5250 protocol.
To use Navigator in the same fashion, you network admin would have to open the various ports for the various services you want to use, and start those various AS/400 services if they aren't already srtarted.

This is VERY insecure and I don't recommend it.

When we configure remote access for our clients, we almost always set up a VPN - this guarantees that only authorized users can access private client resources.

Minor note... If MochaSoft is being used, it _ought_ to be via telnet-ssl (port 992 usually) rather than simple telnet (port 23 usually). If telnet-ssl is opened through the firewall, then the various SSL ports for Navigator might also be opened. With a reasonably high key length, it shouldn't be significantly less secure than VPN with a similar key-length.

Tom,
Good point. I keep finding shops that just poke a hole in the firewall at port 23 and let anyone in. Hopefully that isn't the case here. TN5250 over SSL is much better than naked TN5250 .
