Well, that makes one of us.

Have you tried to access outside of your subnet with the AS/400?  Not that it 
matters - several people here have noted that their AS/400s with 10. addresses 
work fine, and in addition have been helpful with suggestions about how to 
further diagnose or alleviate the problem.  Unfortunately, nothing has worked.  
The fact remains that whenever I attempt to ping outside of my subnet, the 
AS/400 refuses to send out any packets whatsoever.  This is either because:

1. The AS/400 doesn't believe there is an outside network (which could 
conceivably be a problem with my router - at some point it may not have 
responded to a test packet of some kind, and the AS/400 has decided it's not 
there).

2. The AS/400 has some hardcoding that won't allow it to send packets outside 
of it's subnet, perhaps due to a bug in the private subnet logic.

The point is moot (I hope) for two reasons.  I've got a whole slew of PTFs that 
I plan on applying this week, and I also have a new machine due in on Thursday. 
 If I get a chance to apply the PTFs, I'll certainly let the list know what the 
results are.

Gee, several of my AS/400's have an ip address of 10.... and they work
fine.
