Peter Webb and another gentleman were actually the ones who spotted it first.

We're working through several issues at my workplace. The current problem is while the guests can speak to one another via tcp, and the route entry is present, the router will not respond to pings, and i cannot contact the "outside world". Is there a specific user that has to be logged in to route out? is there something wrong with the vswitch definitions below? also, is there a "quick and dirty" guide to z/VM? I'm from the distributed world, and would like a quick reference.. unfortunately answers arent as easy to find on the internet about z/VM as they are about windows or linux or any of the myriad other unixes i've worked on; sort of a short and to the point book like the "exam cram" type or perhaps "An idiots guide to z/VM". 00: CP Q VSWITCH 00: VSWITCH SYSTEM VSW1 Type: VSWITCH Connected: 3 Maxconn: INFINITE 00: PERSISTENT RESTRICTED NONROUTER Accounting: OFF 00: VLAN Unaware 00: MAC address: 02-00-01-00-00-01 00: State: Defined 00: IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8 00: RDEV: 03A0.P00 Controller: NONE 00: RDEV: 03C0.P00 Controller: NONE
