Re: net work configuration problem V4R5MO

I remember in earlier releases (not sure if V4R5) but
a live ethernet cable must be plugged in for the ethernet card to vary on.
Also, tcp ip must be started. In the last ipl should have msgs if tcp ip
started successfully.

I IPL'd powered off and moved the card to another slot, of the same pci
type (IPCS Feature Card) however although the card was reported
operational I still had a vary on failed error even with the tcp subsystem
running.

I have tried many combinations of line eth definitions, also compared to
another working line on another machine.

The only time I saw all the lights on the nic was on IPL for a brief
second then that was it - so I suspect a nic card hardware problem. The
cable is plugged into a live socket. I do not have another card to check
with, however may be able to convince the boss with this information to
obtain another card so we can test.
