Mark, Check your VSWITCH definition. I'm guessing it's defined with "IP NONROUTER" (which is the default).Needs to be "IP PRIROUTER" if packets are going to get through to your Hipersockets LAN.

I then copied this system to a guest under z/VM. On the guest I attached the z/OS to my VSWITCH, and changed the IP address then brought up TCPIP on that adapter without problem. But the Hipersockets are a different issue. I attached 3 address, (even-odd-even) to the guest as the same addresses used on the original z/OS, changed the IP address and restarted TCPIP. The messages from TCPIP say that the adapter started okay, EZZ4313I INITIALIZATION COMPLETE FOR DEVICE IUTIQDFF but I can't ping any other address on the Hipersocket network. And nothing can ping it. All the messages from netstat,dev look exactly like the one on the z/OS that works, except of course, for the all zeros in the counts.
