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?
