Don't have one. :)

Do you know the ip address assigned to that server ?

Yes. I can ping the LAN console IP, just can't sign on. I've tried all
the other ethernet ports and can't ping the system IP addresses that I had
set up before.

Is the LAN connected to a switch ?

No, right from my PC to the system.

If you plug the PC/Laptop into the network can you ping that address ?

Well, right now it's on a different subnet which is one reason I just
wanted to get on and update that and clean up the system. But, I can
only get a PING to reply when plugged into the LAN port and using that IP.

Was the NIC plugged into a switch when you powered the system up ? If not
the interface may not have come up, in this case you could force the
system down from the control panel (Function 08 if I remember correctly)
and then power on again.

Yep, tried that. I guess if I knew for SURE which port on the back to plug
into for connection to the normal LAN (not the LAN console) I could try
that again.

I'm trying to connect to my old 515 running v5r4. I thought it would be
easy, just use the LAN console.

I fired it up, connected the cat 5 cable from my PC to the LAN port and
verify the IP with ping.

But, when it asks for the user and PW I get:

MSGSSL004 - An error was encountered during the handshake phase.....

I couldn't find any info on this, and it never did this before when the
system was active ( years ago of course haha)

I tried connecting my PC's lan port to the other LAN ports on the system
to
try and get a normal 5250 session but I can't seem to get that to work...
no ips I have set up are pingable.

Does anyone have any "back door" ideas to get on this system? All I
really
want to do is clean it up. I have a feeling maybe my PC doesn't have old
SSL/TLS ciphers on it anymore that were used by the LAN console? Or could
this error be something else?

Thanks!
