I don't think that is it.  If another line description has that resource
then the status of your line description will be varied off.  You can't
have two varied on at the same time on the same resource - failed or not.

Sounds like what MIGHT have happened is that another line got automatically
created and varied on maybe ?

When you get the "line vary on failed" message, position your cursor down
there and press F1 (Help) and it will tell you object has it already in
use.

Not positive this is what is going on but sounds like it might be the
issues.

And I do not see HOW the Mochasoft client could have caused this whether it
is registered or not - all it does is ride on TCP/IP !

Subject: Post Ethernet Install Woes - Need Help


Well, following my saga ...

We got the ethernet card installed in the as400, created the line
description, varied it on, it varied on, configed an IP address, started
TCPIP and was able to connect a-ok.
(more or less followed
http://www.iseries.ibm.com/tstudio/lan/lanstart.htm)

Well, when we did the install we were told to set the system to manual
mode on the front  "at the panel go with the arrowkeys to 02 an press
enter now press the arrowkey until you see "02 B M" now press the
enterkey, press arrowkey until 01 is shown then press the enterkey
again. Now your maschine is in manual mode."  However, no info on how to
set it back to automatic? Mode.

This Saturday the system goes down automatically for an hour and comes
back up.

For some reason tho, the system did not come back up right.  (I sadly
was not there and my less then apt co-worker was.)  He somehow got the
system back up but god only knows what he did.

Now for some reason when we WRKCFGSTS *LIN and try to Vary on the
"LANLINE" (which is listed) it says VARY ON FAILED.

I am not there but he tells me the connection between the as400 and the
switch is on and okay

Any ideas?  We tried creating a new line description since he tried to
re-create a LANLINE desctiption when it was already there.

Also - WRKHDWRSC *CMN shows CMN02 under the lan adapter and shows it
"OPERATIONAL"

Do we (and how do we) need to set the machine back to automatic?
How can we delete these line descriptions and start anew?
Any other ideas?

We had tried the Mochasoft client and my co-worker is convinced that
using the 'unregistered' software is what caused this.  Someone please
tell me that he is a complete idiot.

Help again - and yet another million x million thanks

(PS - Im about to do this all again tonight - fear)
