Hi All,

I'm trying a new installation of RDz UT. After IPLing the system i am unable to connect to UT box through PCOMM (IBM Personal Communication). After giving IP and Port in PCOMM when i use to connect so it says;

"Local socket trying to connect to remote server/Host192.168.32.130 using port 3270 infinitely...."

Kindly help me out in the following error.
Thanks,
Shajeel Khan

Check the IP address of your UT machine and ensure it is valid. Make sure that TCPIP starts cleanly with no errors on any of the interfaces. Connect PCOMM to the valid TCPIP address. If none of this makes any sense, read zPDT Redbook Vol 2 Chapter 3. Scenario 4 is the easiest to configure using a SA router/ bridge.

Shajeel,

Check that TCP/IP is started, and try a ping from your workstation where you have PCOMM to the UT Box.
If this is correct, then can you please configure the PCOMM emulator so that it points to port number 23 instead of port number 3270?

Hi Rafa,

I had checked everything but still i am unable to connect.
Thanks,
Shajeel

Does the RDzUT start without errors? Also have you configured the firewall to accept connections on port 3270?

JavaPoet,

My firewall is already disable! Do you want to enable it and then configure it?
Thanks,
Shajeel

Hi All,

Issue Resolved, port was closed. I used this command to open the port;

"/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 3270 -j ACCEPT"
Thanks,
