George,
your SNA-IDs of the two systems are NEX.NEX and NEX2.NEX2
while you set the nex controllers up for a conversation between the
machines NEX.APPN and NEX2.APPN.
Do a CHGNETA on both machines for the local network ID parameter
and change it to "APPN" on both machines, so that they both reside in
the "APPN"-network, then it should work.

HTH, regards from Germany, Philipp Rusch
