Have you contacted the local clergy to perform an exorcism ?
A few gallons of holy water poured onto the Ethernet card should do the 
trick.

Folks, I'm ready to throw in the towel for now.  I'm just about positive
this is a bug in TCP, because I just found a new symptom:

I set my address back to 10.1.1.60, but set my subnet to 255.0.0.0.  This
should tell my AS/400 to send packets directly to any address starting 
with
10., but guess what?

A ping to 10.1.1.22 sends out ICMP packets, but a ping to 10.22.22.22 does
not.  This tells me there's some hardcode way down deep inside the machine
that's controlling this craziness.  I'm going to send away for PTFs and 
get
myself up to the latest cum and see if that doesn't help, even though I
couldn't find anything in the APAR list.

If anyone comes up with something else, feel free to let me know, but 
don't
waste a ton of time.  I'll attack this in more depth when I get my new
machine.

Joe
