What seems to be the problem Lee? I did the same thing and it worked just fine. I don't believe the order really matters. I took it out of the directory and put it in AUTOLOG1 because in my case the LINUX guest may be logged on and off several times during a z/VM IPL. Although it worked fine it produced an error message every time (other than the first) time the guest logged on. I don't remember for sure, but I think I also defined the NIC via the CMD statement. Oh I just saw Kris's response.. I guess I did define the NIC via CMD..
I hope that helps.
