RE: Grumble...

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Additional note.  I tried the communications trace again, but it was late so 
the following information could be a bit dodgy.  I let it format the packets as 
pure Ethernet (not IP), and I saw one entry in the trace.  I didn't capture it 
(I will tonight), but the fields I remember said is was an"802.3" packet, type 
"TEST".  That was the only packet to go out on the line.  When I formatted the 
trace as type IP, I got no results at all.

You did Neil, and I found it.  When I run the trace on an inside ping, it
works great, I see a single record for the ping:

COMMUNICATIONS TRACE       Title: PINGing inside 02/27/01
Record       Data    Record           Controller  Destination   Source
Number  S/R  Length  Timer            Name        MAC Address   MAC 
Address
------  ---  ------  ---------------  ----------  ------------ 
------------
     9   S       33  22:47:19.74600               FFFFFFFFFFFF 
0004AC3EB4FD
                     Frame Type :  ARP           Src Addr: 10.1.1.60
D
                     ARP Header :
00060800060400010004AC3EB4FD0A01013C000000
        Data . . . . . :  AB7A000096999481 A389

(Data truncated due to 5250 display, but you get the idea).

When I do the exact same trace for pinging an address outside the subnet, 
I
get no packets whatsoever - I get a CPF39B9, no trace records found.

This machine just doesn't want to talk outside its net for any reason.  I
looked at system values, and nothing looks bad.  To add insult to injury,
all of IBM's AS/400 service sites are down, so I can't even access the
forums.
