Re: Telnet sessions with a CISC and RISC AS/400 on the same LAN.

Are you in the middle of a conversion??  I only ask because if you
migrated the configureation data you may have duplicate MAC address on the
ethernet lines.  Worth a look.

LAN.


Folks:

I have two AS/400 a CISC and 720 side by side with different ip
addresses and different DSPNETA names.  Both connect fine.  Randomly
sessions of different pcs to the CISC machine is lost.  But they still
show active on the system.  We need to end these *IMMED.  It will happen
again after a few minutes.  When I disconnect the 720 from the LAN
everything goes back to normal.  There are no messages,  joblogs (other
than the ones generated by *IMMED).  This happens on the 720 5250
sessions also.  But unlike the V3R2 machine, this automatically brings
up another session.  I disconnected the V3R2 CISC machine from the LAN
and the 720 5250 sessions are stable without dropping connection.  It
seems there is a conflict between these two.  I have assigned two
different ip numbers from the same block in the same subnet.  (x.y.z.2
for one and x.y.z.15 for the other with subnet 255.255.255.224).   They
are connected to the same switch/hub.  I just need the old one for a
couple of weeks, so I can live with this. Annoying though.  This has the
BP stumped.  There is nothing in the IBM KB on this.
