Mike,
I hope the H/W error message about the adapter failure is correct. If not and not knowing what your actual physical LAN connectivity is, it might be difficult to diagnose the problem remotely. If you have the following IBM manual: System z9 Enterprise Class. Installation Manual for Physical Planning GC28-6844-06, it gives a a number recommendations to customers as to how to configure the HMC LAN i.e. direct connections (HMC to Support Element (SE)), with/without using the corporate LAN, combination of Ethernet and Token Ring or just Ethernet etc. You will find this info in Chapter 6. If you don't have this manual, you can download it from IBM's ResourceLink website. Its in the Library section. Hope this will help you fix the problem.
