RE: Urgent - AS400 Connectivity Problem

["Andy Nolen-Parkhouse" <aparkhouse@xxxxxxxxx>]

Karthik,

Here are some thoughts:

- Replace your cable connecting the AS/400 to your LAN.

- Change the line description of your Ethernet line.  Particularly check
the linespeed and duplex parameters.  If you are set up to autosense,
change it to a hard-coded value or vice versa.  Depending on your
hardware, sometimes this kind of tinkering will bear fruit.  If your
170's are connected to the same network in the same manner, see if you
can get the parameters to match.

HTH,
