The z/VM IP address is outside that range, but that shouldn't matter on a point-to-point link. Your default gateway specification is going to be another matter, though. That should be the same as your z/VM IP address, since that is the only place Linux has to transmit packets. When you do an "ifconfig" command (no parms) what does it show? If the lo device only then "ifconfig -a" ? Also, the output from "route -n" would be good. Do you have proxy arp turned on on the z/VM side? Because Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Lionel Dyck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 4:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Help - z/VM SAF Linux Install 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.
