  Configuring an IP Firewall for Telnet? 
 The Question is:
 
hi again
 
I previously asked the following question:
 
Hello
 
My question reguards having OVMS axps :
 
- 1  alphServer 1000 5/400
- 40 alphaServer 300 4/266
 
all running:
- OVMS v6.2-1h3
- ucx (dectcpip) v4.1 no eco patches
 
 
we have a small NT network behind a MSproxy
server is there a way to put these axp's behind
the msproxy server and have them use a static
nonroutable ip addr to talk to the MSproxy
via Socks? protocol ???
 
 
 
 
 
The Answer is:
 
  OpenVMS TCP/IP Services does not currently support the Socks protocol.
 
  OpenVMS TCP/IP systems can access the web via Microsoft Proxy Servers.
 
 
 
 
So I have been trying to figure out how I can
telnet from a axp on the INTRANET to one on the
internet (in general term , since this isn't a
MsProxy config forum)
 
 
 The Answer is:
 
  In an open network, you can establish a connection using:
 
    SET HOST/TELNET [hostname]
      or
    telnet [hostname]
 
  If this fails, then you probably have your IP routing misconfigured,
  or you are being blocked by a firewall.
 
  To determine your current IP routing, establish a gateway via a TCP/IP
  Services command such as SET ROUT/GATEWAY=[gateway] or via the TCP/IP
  Services configuration proceedure (TCPIP$CONFIG or UCX$CONFIG, with
  the latter used on versions prior to V5.0).
 
  If you are being blocked by a firewall, you will need to determine what
  sort of firewall is present, and how to (re)configure it.  If you are
  using a Microsoft Proxy Server as your firewall, you will need to contact
  your Microsoft support organization to determine how the package can be
  configured, and if it permits access to the open Internet from within,
  and (of course) how.  Depending on the package, default outbound telnet
  connections may be available, or you may need to establish the connection
  to a specific port, or some other firewall-specific configuration may be
  required.
