Newbie to LINUX. I am trying to bring up SUSE for the first time under z/VM 
540. I have downloaded the SUSE LINUX for mainframes from NOVELL. Everything 
worked as it should during the install, except I cannot PING 172.16.24.129 from 
my VM userid WATERSR running on the same z/VM 540 system.

I think maybe my NETWORK PARMS are incorrect but do not know. The VSWITCH seems 
fine. Any ideas why I cannot connect to LINUX? I tried using PUTTY and could 
not connect. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

VM Directory entry for NIC in NOVSTART:
NICDEF 0340 TYPE QDIO LAN SYSTEM VSWITCH1

PROFILE TCPIP:
HOME
172.16.24.100  255.255.252.0  LCHHOSAX

DEFAULTNET                      172.16.24.2     LCHHOSAX   1500

NETWORK PARMS:
IPADDR=172.16.24.129
 NETMASK=255.255.252.0
 GATEWAY=172.16.24.2
 NAMESERVER=10.0.0.23       (was not sure what to enter on this line)
 FQDN=novstart.example.com
 LAYER2=N
 DHCP=N

PROFILE EXEC:
/* PROFILE EXEC for NOVSTART SLES Installation server */
'CP SET PF12 RETRIEVE'
'CP SPOOL CON TO WATERSR'
'CP SPOOL CON START'
'CP SET RUN ON'
'ACCESS 19F D'
'SWAPGEN 160 200000'

OWNER = 'SYSTEM'
lan_name = 'VSWITCH1'

COUPLE 340 SYSTEM VSWITCH1         (is this COUPLE needed???)

Say 'Enter a non-blank character and ENTER (or two ENTERs) within 10'
Say ' seconds to interrupt Linux IPL.'
'WAKEUP +00:10 (CONS'
If rc = 6 Then Do
   Say 'Interrupt: entering CMS.'
   Pull   /* Clear Stack */
   Say 'IPL 150 CLEAR to boot Linux from DASD'
   Say 'SLES to boot SLES installation system from reader'
    End
 Else Do
    'CP IPL 150 CLEAR'
 End
