Hi... You mention 'routed' in your network, but I believe the routed application uses multicast or broadcast to exchange routing information. If you are running z/VM 4.2.0 HiperSockets it will not support multicast.
If you are using z/VM 4.3.0 the HiperSockets simulation supports multicast or you have the option of defining a QDIO adapter which supports multicast and broadcast within the QDIO Guest LAN. If you were depending on routed to install the SUSE7 IP Address in your TCPIP routing table, that might cause ping to fail. I am not skilled with the configuration options, but if you describe the way you have configured the HiperSockets DEVICE/LINK on the TCPIP side, perhaps other readers can offer suggestions that will help.
