Can't set Telnet options for 5250 transmission

Description:

Newlook could not successfully negotiate the necessary telnet options to establish a 5250 session with the host.

Probable cause:

This error is most often caused when newlook is configured to connect to the wrong TCP/IP port on the host. The correct port number is usually 23 but can be changed by the iSeries network administrator.

Solution:

Contact the network administrator to find out which port is used by the OS/400 telnet server and ensures that the connection defined in newlook is using this port number. If this does not correct the problem then contact your newlook distributor.
