what values should I set on the LAN console config? ( VIOS is
showing no signs of life on the BCS after an aborted install of i5/OS
so I cant test different values )

here is what the Configure System i Operations Console prompt says:

"... what is the TCP/IP information and serial number of the system to
which you are making a service connection? ..."

"Service host name ... "
"Service TCP/IP address ..."

that would be the ip address of VIOS on the JS12, no?

on the mktcpip command on the vios I set the host name to be vjs12 and
ip address to 192.168.1.22

Since I set the ip addr of "vjs12" yesterday, LAN console will not let
me change that IP address. Even when I delete the connection and add
it again, when I enter host name vjs12, the ip address 192.168.1.22 is
assigned and cant be changed.

The documentation says I can "let the PC assign the name and IP
information" by "searching for the system on the network". My router
setup is very basic. FIOS service and router supplied by Verizon.
What service on the network does LAN console need to find the JS12?

thanks,
