I cannot connect from the pc to the mainframe - I was told that the fireall was preventing ICMP traffic. I just requested that the firewall be opened to allow ICMP traffic.

I usually get to ISPF via TN3270, but we also have session managers available. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shmuel Metz (Seymour J.)

You are running a session manager that can't pass on the IP address 2. You don't have dynamic DNS to associate a fixed A RR to the floating IP address. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
