Reinhold,

Could you clarify what it is your asking about in your last sentence? If you
mean if an ENDTCPIFC has been issued for an interface will AS/400 somehow
magically know to issue a STRTCPIFC later? Nope.

If you're asking if you unplug an Ethernet cable from AS/400 and later replug
it will the interface start to work again? Don't know. This has more to do with
whether or not the underlying communications objects -- line description,
controller, and device objects -- are able to recover in this scenario or not.

What was the status of the associated line description used by the TCP/IP
interface? (You can get this info by issuing command NETSTAT *IFC and then
using list option 12 against this Ethernet interface).
