Radislaw:
Thanks for the idea. Actually, I am keeping the old HMC. What I am
trying to work out is if I can simply install an ethernet card in the
HMC to resolve the problem. I am about 2 hours remote from the HMC so I
have not been able to look at the model information other than it is a
mini-tower, which I remember from the last time I was there. Perwez
suggested that this model (8485) has an ethernet port on the motherboard
and another on a card?. I do know that the ethernet connection to the
outside network is working, as I can access the HMC remotely. So it
looks like the failure is on the private (HMC-SE) LAN side, especially
since I can't access the SE. I am hoping that a simple replacement of
the ethernet card (assuming there is one) will solve the problem.

Hello all:
I have a remote client that has experienced an ethernet LAN adapter
failure in their HMC and I won't be able to see the system until I
travel there next week. Can anyone tell me if the adapter in an older
HMC (for a z9) is likely to be anything other than a simple ethernet
card? if you need any specific model information for the HMC, let me
know and I will send what I have.
You want to swap a card from old (z9) HMC to a new (which one???) HMC.
It is likely that won't work.
However there's another option: to plug some router to internal
(HMC-SE) network. It can be considered unsafe, but actually the
difference is not big (when compared with remoted access to HMC). In
such scenario you would have access to both HMC and directly to SE.
The later is needed for operations like "Load from DVD of ftp server".
