656 means: Initializing the TCP/IP Socket interface for Telnet5250 (5250 <BR>
session).<BR>
<P>
It sounds like you might have a TCP/IP stack problem. I'd suggest <BR>
re-installing the networking client.<BR>

Hi Johan, <p> Based on Bill's post above, the 656 message is informational and not an error message. <p> The CWBPING results for Telnet test (<i>Verbinding met servertoepassing is gelukt: Telnet</i>) answers your Usenet question of how you can tell if port 23 is blocked. The Telnet port test was successful. <p> I had never heard of CWBPING before. Joe Hertvik has an excellent writeup on it here: <a href="http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid3_gci789473,00.html">http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid3_gci789473,00.html</a> <p> It also would let you specify port 23 as a parm /port:23 to your CWBPING, but it has already verified Telnet port is communicating. <p> The error codes are defined at Iseries Access Communication Error Messages <a href="http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/access/linux/guide/cwbcoer.html">http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/access/linux/guide/cwbcoer.html</a> <p>CWBCO1003 code 10061: The server was contacted, but refused the connection request. <p>CWBCO1049: Make sure the host servers have been started on the server. <p>CWBCO1008: The Service Mapper was successfully contacted on the server, but connecting to the specified application server on that server failed, probably because the host server is not running. The error code is specified. <BR>
Recovery <BR>
Verify that the host server is ready to receive connections by doing the following on the server: <p> 1. Enter the NETSTAT command. <BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Select option 3, Work with TCP/IP connection status. <BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Search for an entry for which the Local Port is the name of the server application specified in the message. This name may be truncated for display in NETSTAT. <BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Press F14 (Display port numbers) and note what port number that server is using; also note what the state of the server is. <p>end quote <p> You also might try the CWBPING with the iseries IP address instead of hostname to confirm same error results are obtained. <p> rd

<P>
This is the key error, the help text as Ralph pasted should resolve the <BR>
issue.<BR>
<P>
For completeness of problem solving, the file that lists all of these codes <BR>
and possible solutions is normally located in the C:program <BR>
filesibmclient accessmri2924 folder. Your location may be different <BR>
based upon language(s) installed and original install options.<BR>
<P>
You can get a head start in finding the proper help file by taking the <BR>
first 5 characters of the message and appending "er.hlp" to the end. So, <BR>
in this case the help file for the error messages is CWBCOER.HLP.<BR>

My guess is that your session is not a "named" session, and that Auto-Config has been turned off (on the AS/400). <p>This would mean that the host is there, and can be pinged, but that the workstation is not configured on the host. <p>Another explanation might be if the the AS/400 limits Auto-Config to a specified number of stations, and they are already operative. <p>Dave

Hello,

I try to connect to a as400 with AS/400 Client Access Express for Windows Version 5 Release 1 with the emulator
program. But when i do this i get the message "Connection made with
server/host on remote <HOSTNAME> through port 23" followed by a message
"Hostname not supplied or not found" and a code 656 appears on the
bottom of the screen.

I can use the os400 navigator program with the hostname and i can ping
to the hostname and i get the correct ipnumber. So i think the hostname
is well known.

What can be the problem that only the emulator does not work?

Thx,

Johan

I have found the answer! <p>QAUTOVRT value was 0, setting it to "*NOMAX" did the trick <p>Thanks!!!
