If you set up the below you probably have a routing problem. You can't have the same network appear in several places on the network. The routers won't know where to route the packets.

The z/OS stack has E9 defined and started as 192.168.4.3. The 2 new guests can ping themselves but not the z/OS, z/OS can ping itself but not the 2 new guests - the 8 guests on E8 are no problem but no joy going to E9 . Changing the dedicate statement for the guest to use EAxx also gets no joy - even though the z/OS thinks it has EA at 192.168.4.4 The redbook for hipersockets isn't helping today - nor is the communications server manual. I'm sure that this is something blindingly simple but I just don't see it - would someone please point this dba who is subbing as a sysprog in the right direction. >From the tcpip profile for the z/os stack : . .
