Hi Brian, I think your interface drivers are configured properly. You have defined a HiperSockets NIC and you are using the "hsi0" interface. HiperSockets does not require a portname, and does not care if you provide one, so don't worry about that part.
Your IP address is visible on the LAN (your QUERY LAN command shows that it is associated with your Linux user's connection). > LAN SYSTEM VMSNAPV Type: HIPERS Active: 2 MAXCONN: INFINITE > PERSISTENT UNRESTRICTED MFS: 16384 > Adapter Owner: TCPIP NIC: 0D20 Name: VMPORT3 > 129.80.16.54 129.80.45.128 129.80.45.193 > 129.80.45.225 > Adapter Owner: TMP04LNX NIC: 7000 Name: UNASSIGNED > 129.80.45.226 It appears that you have sent 9 packets from 129.80.45.226 (with 0 responses). > ifconfig > hsi0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 > inet addr:129.80.45.226 Mask:255.255.255.224 > inet6 addr: fe80::200:ff:fe00:0/10 Scope:Link > UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:8192 Metric:1 > RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 > RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:792 (792.0 b) > Interrupt:25 I don't know why TCPIP is not responding, but both interfaces look valid, so if you 'ping 129.45.225 -c 1' from your linux user, it should be delivered to the TCPIP user. I know of two easy ways this can fail on the way back: (1) TCPIP has another gateway definition that sends this IP address out a different interface. (2) TCPIP thinks this datagram has to go through an intermediate node with a different IP address (this may send it into the right LAN segment but with the wrong next-hop address which makes it invisible to your Linux connection).
