Not ICMP, per se. That is why you cannot ping (which uses ICMP). Likely the firewall does not allow the z/OS system to connect outward to any other IP addresses, with perhaps some whitelisted addresses for some servers (such as ftp servers). Which would indicate that it most likely is on its own VLAN. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
