Re: Connection issues after a move

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Jack.

There is no DHCP running on this "network".  The network consists of a 5 
port switch that has 4 ports connected to the IBM i and one port routed 
to my laptop.  Nothing else on the "network"  All the IP's were 
statically assigned, including the laptop, and have been assigned for 
years.  No changes in the move at all.

The goal is to get to the console to start the TCP/IP stack (I think).  
Not sure why I am having issues.  Usually I can connect to the console 
and start stuff that isn't running.  HMC is available but can't seem to 
get the console to connect from there.
