I finally have a network connection to my z/VM system so I can start to install some little penguins to do more testing.
BUT (isn't there always one) I'm having a 'challenge'. I'm using SuSE and selecting the iucv connection and that works. It asks for my linux ip address which I give it (172.21.249.21) and then it asks for the peer address (which I assume means the z/vm ip address so I give it that of 172.21.249.253). Prior to this it asked for the target host (and said for VM it is normally TCPIP) so I specified TCPIP. The ifconfig runs clean and then linux trys to ping itself (which works) and then it tries to ping z/vm and fails. Any suggestions? my z/vm is 172.21.249.253 and the gateway to the world (via a 2216) is 172.21.249.254 and my netmask for that world is 255.255.255.252. thx -------------------------------------------------------------------- Lionel B.
