Joe, First, try ending and restarting TCP/IP services. You don't mention which OS/400 release and PTF cum package level your 400 is at, but there are PTF's to fix situations where TCP traffic can stop on the 400. (You say you assume you see two ARP packets from the 400 - maybe they aren't ?). Play with comm trace on the 400. STRCMNTRC, ENDCMNTRC, PRTCMNTRC (FMTTCP *YES) while attempting to ping out and connect in from the outside (one test only per each run of comm trace to keep it easy). Here's a REAL long shot - could your AS/400's MTU size (on the TCP/IP interface definition, or the Ethernet line description) be set to a value too large for your Netopia router ? If you try to connect to the 400 from the outside, does the sniffer show data going to the 400 ?

Final piece to the puzzle. When I put up a sniffer, the AS/400 doesn't even make a peep on the network during the ping. When I ping internally, I see two ARP broadcast packets from what I assume is my AS/400, followed by a response from what I assume is my router. After that, there are a bunch of ICMP echos and replies. When I ping an unconfigured address in the net, there are a whole bunch of ARP broadcasts, but of course no replies. And when I ping an address NOT in the subnet, there isn't even a peep on the ether - not even an ARP broadcast. So how about THEM apples, eh? > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-midrange-l@midrange.com > [mailto:owner-midrange-l@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Joe Pluta > Sent: Sunday, February 25, 2001 9:57 PM > To: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com > Subject: RE: Grumble... > > > And just to clarify - the AS/400 successfully pings 10.1.1.17 > (the internal > address of the router).
