Thanks, Don. I'm going to try those things in the morning as well as my
old operations console software if it's in my CD stack from V5R4.

Thanks to everyone for the ideas!

Sorry - I missed your responses in this email below.

If the box is on a different subnet you could just change the ip address
on the laptop to the same subnet to get a connection.

If you have a spare switch just connect all ports and bring the box up,
with the ports connected to the switch the interface should start.

Then you should be able to ping and if you get a reply you should be
able
to connect.

Cheers

v5r4 - Plug the old twinax device in - they never fail - hahahah!


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!
