Because your PC have a private IP address (192.168.x.x) you can't
use it directly in internet. You must set up so-called "masquerade"
(or NAT in cisco termins) to translate this fake address into real one.
Linux, for example, can do it with iptables. But AFAIK AIX can't.
So the only way - install proxy server on AIX box, squid for example.
After this step you will be able to use HTTP, FTP, IRC from PC.
Hope this helps.
