Re: Cannot connect with Telnet client, other TCP/IP clients

Pete,

Try removing everything but your default route, which should be pointed 
to the gateway.

Remember; LAN console is connecting to the 'TCP short stack' that is 
supported in the LIC.  That is not the same network nor connection point 
that IBM i is using, so having the console work and no other TCP/IP 
functions work does make some small sense.
