Re: Cannot connect to IBM i through anything but local switch

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This went off list so I am putting it back on.....

Thanks.  I had to wait to come in this AM because I can't get to the i
from anywhere but the local switch.....

I CAN ping the gateway from the laptop on the local switch so the GW is
available and responds to a ping.  The arp cache on the laptop and i
both have the same MAC address listed for the GW. The i can ping
everything on the local switch BUT the GW.....
