Hi Mark, Don't know what it is...most folks I know think I'm nuts, but I have always loved computers. While I may moan and groan when I can't figure something out, the pure functionality alone would be enough to make me love them. If the rest of the world could only grasp how much time in pure grunt work is saved by computers, maybe they would appreciate them more. Maybe part of the love comes from the certainty that there is an answer if you just look long enough...it doesn't depend on luck or whim. And after working in Systems and other departments for many years on IBM systems, Linux is so foreign that it is a major new toy. And I know there are many others besides myself who are very glad you do "hang around". Thanks again for your help.

Jill, Neale's given you the only solution that I know about, so I'll address the other aspects of your message, namely the excitement. I absolutely know how that is! When I got my first Linux/390 system up, I was _very_ excited! Then, when I got the network to actually communicate, I was very excited again! I've loved working with computers since I was in the 9th grade. Learning something new and getting it to work has always been a great source of pleasure for me. (Helping other people to do the same thing is another source. That's one of the reasons I "hang out" here.) So, don't apologize for having fun and being excited about your work. I tell anyone who will listen that I've had more fun over the last two years working with Linux/390 than I've had for a long, long time. I'm happy to see other people having the same experience.

Good morning all, Well, surprised me, I have a system! TCPIP isn't working correctly, but I have a system! (Sorry, I'm excited... newbie's are like that.) If you all will be so kind as to indulge me one more time.... (with much chagrin) Got in a hurry and issued a PING 10.1.1.120 without specifying any other parms (just what the book says not to do). Is there any way to get out of the loop of messages about how the address is unreachable?! Yes, I need to slow down but after dinking around with this off and on for a year, just knowing I can actually issue a message and it works... well, you guys know how it is, right? :-) Anyway, if someone knows how to get out of this, I will be off at a more careful pace.

What console type do you have defined for the Linux/390 guest?

I am finally getting somewhere. I tried the tape IPL again, but left one (two) thing(s) different. The PARM card had "" at the end, and before I had deleted it. Maybe I needed to keep it? Also using new files from IUCV URL Mark Post recommended. I got far enough to get the prompt for network device, but the system won't accept console input. I remember there was discussion about this, so I will search the archives to see what I did wrong with this. At least there is hope! Thanks all.
