To connect to an iSeries™ server from a PC that runs any Windows® 32-bit
operating systems, verify that the modem is installed and configured properly,
and ensure that you installed TCP/IP and Dial-Up Networking on the personal
computer.
Refer to your Microsoft® Windows documentation for information
on configuring Dial-up Networking on the PC. Ensure that you specify or enter
the following information:
- Type of dial-up connection should be PPP.
- If you are using encrypted passwords, ensure that you use MD-5 CHAP (MS-CHAP
is NOT supported by the iSeries server). Some versions of Windows do
not support MD-5 CHAP directly, but it can be configured with additional help
from Microsoft.
- If you are using unencrypted (or unsecured) passwords, Password Authentication
Protocol (PAP) is automatically used. Any other unsecured protocol type will
not be supported by the iSeries server.
- Typically, IP addressing is defined by the remote system, or in this case,
the iSeries server.
If you intend to use alternate IP addressing methods (such as defining your
own IP addresses), ensure that the iSeries server is also configured to
accept your addressing method.
- Add DNS IP address if appropriate for your environment.
