I have absolutely no idea what's going on. I checked the same things (the
few things I know) that I've been checking and trying all morning.
I noticed, again, that WRKCFGSTS *LIN showed the Ethernet line was in RCYPND
status. And I had a message in QSYSOPR that the line failed. For at least
the sixth time today I replied with 'R'.
Now the local and remote display stations can connect to the System i. The
remote entry of orders, which go into a holding file on the System i, is
working.
I have, as I said, absolutely no idea of what is going on. Nor how long
this positive turn of events will last.

Host tables is used for one of two purposes.
1 - Documenting certain IP addresses.
2 - In case you don't have a DNS entry for that. And if you don't ask
yourself why the heck not.
Ok, so you have a host table entry for "gateway". Do you execute commands
on your i to transmit/receive from "gateway"? If not it might be
documentation.
Check also CFGTCP
2. Work with TCP/IP routes
Did they change the IP address of "next hop"?
Route Subnet Next Preferred
Destination Mask Hop Interface
*DFTROUTE *NONE 10.17.6.1 *NONE

The feedback from CWBPING was:
E - CWBC01003 - Sockets error, function connect<> returned 10060
E - CWBC01048 - A time-out occurred trying to connect to the iSeries
E - CWBC01006 - Unable to connect to the server mapper
E - CWBC01011 - Remote port could not be resolved
E - CWBC01008 - Unable to connect to server application Central Client,
returned 10060
While I was waiting for my message to get to Midrange and a reply, I
decided
to PWRDWNSYS with Restart *Yes. The thought process, such as it was, was
that maybe a server needed to be started that I didn't know about or
couldn't find. The system is back and seems to have finished all of its
steps. The DSPMSG QSYSOPR command shows "Activating ETHERNET to start IP
[our IP address] for QTCP in 048912/QTCP/QTCPIP". The "Controller
ETHERNET
contacted on line ETHERNET".
WRKCFGSTS *LIN shows the line "Active".
I just found out that Comcast deleted an IP address on their box (I don't
know which box; the guy didn't even talk to me)
Which under "TCP/IP work with Host Tables" is showing up as "Gateway". I'm
pretty much lost and dazed, and maybe it's just me but a term like
"Gateway"
sounds ominous.

Maybe after a while the IP stack has gotten lost. From the desktop, what
do
you get when you use CWBPING. When will your IP stack on the host be
recycled as well as host servers.

All day Friday we lost internet connection. Web browsing and email

Windows were down. Only twinax devices (displays and printers)
worked.
This morning, when I came in there was an error message (CPA58EE -
Line Ethernet failed) to which I replied 'R'. iSeries Access could
then connect, and I was working fine from my PC. Remote locations
could signon.
Comcast came out this morning to work on it. Now browsing and email
work, but iSeries Access connections (local and remote) do not. In
WRKCFGSTS *LIN the Ethernet is showing "Active".
I have since gotten the CPA58EE error three more times, and replied
'R'; once that failed but the next retry seemed to take
Obviously I'm missing something else, but what?
In Work with TCP Interfaces and Routes only the specific IP address
(plus the Loopback) are defined. For local connection could I add a
10.0.0.xxx IP address and change the iSeries Access connections to use
that address rather than the 173.xx.xx.xx address? This would not
help the remote locations, of course, so I'm still missing something.
Thanks.
