RE: Grumble...

And just to clarify - the AS/400 successfully pings 10.1.1.17 (the internal
address of the router).  The AS/400 can in fact ping ANY of the machines on
the internal network.  It simply cannot ping anything past the router.  All
other machines on the network, however, can indeed ping inside and outside
the network (including pinging the AS/400).

The AS/400 cannot even ping the realworld address of the router.  All the
other machines do, with under 10msec response time (on the other hand,
pinging a realworld address other than the router is on the order of 100
msec).  It seems to me that the AS/400 is simply not sending out any packets
to addresses other than itself.  Now to grab a sniffer and see if that helps
anything.
