What is NETSTAT HOME and PORTL telling you about port 23 and host address? Are you getting any (strange/odd) messages on SYSLOG during logon and/or TCP/IP and VTAM startup? >I can ping the ip address so it is seen. and you can FTP according to your next post. So it seemed to me you need to review the TELNET address space, SYSTCPD DD, PROFILE DD, etc. Are you getting this message on your TELNET address space? EZZ6003I TELNET LISTENING ON PORT 23 There are a lot to check, but check your port 23 settings ...
