I have been working with the "IBM Configurator for eBusiness" for iSeries the last few days and it implies that you can still share the NIC between IXA and OS/400 under V5R1. It does issue a warning that it would better to have a dedicated NIC for each side, but it lets you configure the system with a single NIC. My limited personal experience with this (one 2850? IPCS in V4) was that I had one helluva time trying to share the NICs and ultimately gave up and used one for NT and one for OS/400. The NICs were identical. -Marty ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Dow" <pcdow@yahoo.com> To: <midrange-l@midrange.com> Subject: Re: V5R1 vs V4R5 Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2001 15:39:19 -0800 Reply-To: midrange-l@midrange.com Thanks Neil, that's what I was trying to remember. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neil Palmer" <NeilP@DPSlink.com> To: <midrange-l@midrange.com> Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 5:27 AM Subject: Re: V5R1 vs V4R5 > On older models and OS/400 releases you could share the NIC the INS used > for Native 400 functions, BUT lost native 400 connectivity if the INS > crashed (not that something running Windows would ever do that).Now you > need to dedicate a card for native use, and one (or two) to the INS.
