Thanks Ursula, I managed to get one of the connections back up and working.
The echo in step 2 failed with a message -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument. But I went ahead with step 3, echo 1 > ... /online, and then step 4, ifconfig eth0, and then added the default route as suggested by Rob, and now I can connect up again! I still need to go look at the config files, but at least I can, now. Not being all that familiar with linux, or having the time to work with it and really learn it, I have a tendency to use Yast(2). However, I apparently shouldn't use Network Manager... Thanks to all, for the suggestions. Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info.

Check with lscss, if the subchannel triplet (0.0.xxxx, 0.0.xxxy, 0.0.xxxz) of your OSA-device is available. 2. Define the ccwgroup device with: echo 0.0.xxxx,0.0.xxxy,0.0.xxxz > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/group 3. Bring the device online: echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccwgroup/devices/0.0.xxxx/online 4. Activate the network interface: ifconfig eth0 <ip.ad.dr.es> netmask <aa.bb.cc.dd> Now you should be able to connect from your PC. Then you should check the SLES10 configuration files: /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.xxxx /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.xxxx Regards, Ursula Ursula Braun, IBM Germany, Linux on System z development ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu 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 lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
