IBM provides a tool to quickly get your IBM i up and running on the Internet with its downloadable Internet Setup Wizard. The wizard guides you through any of the following three common scenarios:
  1. Connecting your IBM i as a Web and application server behind a firewall and allowing access to it from the Internet.
  2. Connecting your IBM i as a Web and application server to a DMZ outside a firewall and allowing access to it from the Internet.
  3. Directly connecting your IBM i to the Internet through a dial-up connection.
You can download the Java-based wizard from http://www.iseries.ibm.com/tcpip/iwizard.htm . It's a big download of about 15 MB. The three scenarios require HTTP Server to be installed, as well as OS/400 at V4R4 and above. The first and second scenarios also require WebSphere to be installed.
