The other machines need to be able to find it, but it's not necessarily the net mask that's wrong. I've run Linux under Hercules under Linux using a virtual CTC, and used an IP address from the network of the host: LAN network address - 192.168.1.0 Host IP address - 192.168.1.6 L/390 IP address - 192.168.1.253 The L/390's CTC was configured as pointopoint and so the netmask 255.255.255.255 is correct. I used the arp command to configure the host (192.168.1.6) to receive traffic for 192.168.1.253 on the LAN - all the other machines on the LAN treated the L/390 virtual box as just another host on the LAN. The machine 192.168.1.6 picked up the traffic for the guest and directed it via the pointopoint link. This is a standard ppp and slip setup. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Rivers, James E.
