The problem was solved using Firewall definitions. 
Apparently not all people who work on firewall are created equal.

Gadi,

I was not sure of the problem, and where the specific started task comes in.
Can you ping the RHEL server from z/OS?
If the ping fails it could be due to two reasons 1.  z/OS does not know about 
the RHEL address 2. The ping request got to RHEL, but RHEL does not know the 
route to get back to z/OS.

TRACERTE ( on z/OS) and traceroute ( on RHEL) may help in this

On Ubuntu traceroute gave me
$ traceroute 10.1.1.2
traceroute to 10.1.1.2 (10.1.1.2), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
 1  10.1.0.3 (10.1.0.3)  0.285 ms  0.250 ms  0.167 ms
 2  zos (10.1.1.2)  5.121 ms  2.271 ms  4.334 ms

The first hop ( 1) went via 10.1.0.3, the second hop (2) went via 10.1.1.2 on 
z/OS TSO NETSTAT HOME gave me

Home address list:
LinkName:   ETH1
  *Address:  10.1.1.2*
    Flags:  Primary

on z/OS tso tracerte 10.1.0.2 gave me

CS V2R4: Traceroute to 10.1.0.2 (10.1.0.2):
1 10.1.1.1 (10.1.1.1)  1 ms  1 ms  1 ms
2 10.1.0.2 (10.1.0.2)  2 ms  1 ms  1 ms

so the first hop(1) went via 10.1.1.1, the second hop went via 10.1.0.2 (from 
10.1.1.1) Colin
