RE: LAN console stuck at "Connecting..."

Amazing timing on this - I just had the same problem when my switch and console PC lost power. The system itself was still accessible, so I went to STRSST, #8 Work with service tools user IDs and Devices, #4 Configure service tools LAN adapter, pressed F17.

Of course, we also answered the message to retry the regular Ethernet line so it would work tomorrow.

I don't have the seq handy but you should be able to use the control panel
functions 65 and 21 to reset the connection with out an IPL. I would be
talkiing to IBM to see if they have a fix too

My LAN console is stuck at "Connecting." - it does that every time the
PC loses connection to the System i. I could clear it by doing an
IPL, but isn't there something else I can do to get it past the

"connecting."

status?
Like reset a subsystem or something?
