AS400 and WAN connection

[igolo]

What do I need to configure to allow my remote (WAN)connections access to my AS400?
Here's a quick overview of my network:
remote sites - 172.16.xxx.0/24
LAN - 10.1.0.0/16
LAN Router - 10.1.1.254/16
AS400 - 10.1.50.1/16

Here's the scenerio:
From 172.16.xxx.0/24 I can access everyting on 10.1.0.0/16 except 10.1.50.1
From 10.1.0.0/16 I can access everything on 172.16.xxx.0/24
From 10.1.0.0/16 I can access 10.1.50.1

The configuration of my router looks fine and was double checked. the router is using OSPF, RIP is not enabled. I don't know much about the AS/400, but it looks to me like something (protocol) needs to be enabld on the AS/400 more so than the on the router.

Also where is a good resource to learn AS400 administration?

The easy way is to set a route in the AS/400 to the 172. network. It is more than likely that the 172 network can get to the 400, but the 400 can't find a way back.

Your question about the AS400 admin,, what is the AS400 used for in your organization. If it is, or will be used for in the financial reporting, support. I would say Yes..
