System i5 now booted!! was ->RE: System i5 first boot

Ok, so through some finagling, twisting and turning I am now logged into my
new System i5!! Whoo hooo!  Special thanks to Alfredo Delgado for
introducing me to nmap as that is what allowed me to discover what IP
address the System i5 grabbed (and it wasn't the one I specified in the
wizard) and then I pointed OpsCons at that and I was in before I knew it
(note that this was after having to reset the QCONSOLE password on the
System i - very interesting process of clicking control panel buttons).
 
Now, I am trying to setup TCP/IP so I can get other sessions connected and
am having trouble.  I am reading the manual and it is telling me to use the
EZ-Setup Wizard which is currently bombing on me so I am going at it via the
"character based" approach.  Based on the below can anybody give input?
 
- I configured a line description successfully (i.e. ETHLIN01) and pointed
it at
- CHGTCPA to change the IP datagram forwarding to be *YES
- Added an interface like the following 192.168.0.27     255.255.255.0
ETHLIN01     *ELAN
- ENDTCP
- STRTCP
