Mark, You've got my config pretty much right. My installation server is just a workstation that I've started vsftpd on though. (forgive me, I'm a newbie here)
You're right, the installer doesn't support telnet. Telnet times out on CMS. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Post, Mark K Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2007 11:23 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: install RHEL4 into z/VM guest on VPN Warren, I'm really not sure what you're trying to show us here. Are you saying that your installation server is a RHEL4 system (running under VMWare on a Windows XP system), and that it is connected to your company's network via VPN? If you're able to telnet/SSH into the guest, once there can you telnet to port 21 of your installation server? That would let you check the connectivity back to it. I don't think the Red Hat installer will have a telnet client available at that point in the process, so you may need to use the CMS telnet client instead.

I've been told VPN is a problem. No matter what I try, it stops after the following message. I assume there is no communication. I can telnet into the VM guest and the installation program starts fine. I select ftp as the type and I've extracted the contents of the s390x install CD into a file path '/install'. * transferring ftp://10.4.19.200//install/RedHat/base/stage2.img to a fd when I logout, z/VM reports that 10.4.19.200 has logged out, that's why I tried that address as the server address on the installation window. When I issue ifconfig on the workstation, it displays a different IP address. When I specify that IP address, the same thing happens. I can't ping either address from the z/VM shell. I can ping my router but trying that produces similar results. thanks if you know ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
