The most common reason for this with someone just starting to use z/Linux is your Linux guest and your VM OSA interface to the rest of the world are on the same subnet, and you have not added PROXYARP to ASSORTEDPARMS in your PROFILE TCPIP.
Do it the right way from the beginning, get a new subnet for your Linux guests. Saves a lot of pain in the short and long term. And while your at it, download a more recent Linux, such as Centos http://www.centos.org. You can't learn all that much from such an old version. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harting, David Sent: April 27, 2006 10:04 To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Install question I am installing Marist/LINUX on an IBM Z800 in a Z/VM guest.
