Hi Tom, check if there that there is no tcpip protocol active in mpts for the network cards you want to use for VM or VSE. There may be only SNA protocol active on it. The TCPIP protocol is only used for network cards which emulate console devices. Another possibility is to check if the adapter numbers. The onboard adapter should have adapter number zero and then the PCI Ethernet cards should follow. In my old self-written hints I have a remark, that in config.sys there must be the driver AWSLCSDD.SYS active before using TCPIP.
Hope this helps Franz Josef ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Cluster" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 5:33 PM Subject: [IBMVM] Problem activating FEA cards on MP3000 > This is posted both in the vse and vm listservs. > > We have a used 7060 for DR purposes.
