Re: New AS/400 Update - TCP/IP Problems

Hi Debbie
From GO TCPADM, take option 7 work with TCP/IP network status, then
option 1.  You should see your IP address for the AS/400.  Take option 5
and you should get the following.

Display TCP/IP Interface Status    5769SS1 V4R2M0 
980228                                                   
  Interface host name . . . . . . . . . . . . . :  
AS400IBM              Internet address  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :  
10.0.0.7                Subnet mask . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Network address should be your router address.
Somewhere in the setup it asks for the 'next hop'.  This should be the
router assigned to the network segment that contains the As/400.
