"HARROP, Roy" <roy.har...@nats. co.uk> To Sent by: The IBM IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU z/VM Operating cc System <ib...@listserv.u Subject ARK.EDU> Re: IP error 03/03/2009 11:15 AM Please respond to The IBM z/VM Operating System <ib...@listserv.u ARK.EDU> Is the OSA port set up correctly? I spent many happy hours trying to start an OSA port a couple of years ago until I discovered that the port was set up as Token Ring, not Ethernet. The reason? There was a little wrap plug in the T/R port... I took the T/R wrap plug out, put the Ethernet one (in the Ethernet socket!), disabled the port from the hardware console and then went through the set-up again (sorry, but I don't recall the exact details), and hey presto, a working Ethernet connection. You didn't say what type of OSA card you have - obviously if it's not the type that supports different LANs, this may not help...

According to the IBM z/VM 5.4 TCP/IP Messages and Codes manual (online edition available here: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/HCSK4B31/CCON TENTS?SHELF=hcsh2aa1&DN=GC24-6124-04&DT=20081125150345) , the E080 return code signifies: A LAN connection could not be made, possibly for one of the following reasons: * The cable might not be present. * The LAN might not be functioning. * The port might have been disabled. Have you verified that the OSA card is enabled, and has a cable plugged into? Hope this helps.
