It may well have -- at least it would on most Linux systems. Linux, for example, will respond to a packet addressed to any of it's configured IP addresses from any active interface. In practical terms, if you have an internal network interface and you ping its address from the outside, the outside interface will respond. As long as the internal address is configured, the external interface will respond to the pings -- even if the cable is unplugged on the internal interface. If VM TCPIP behaves the same way, then you'll be thinking that all is well on the inside... > For future reference... how would we reattach it :)? > > They tried a: > DEFINE NIC 700 QDIO DEV 3 > COUPLE 700 SYSTEM VMGLAN > from TCPMAINT, but I think it should have been done for TCPIP > instead. How would they have done that? Exactly right -- the above would have defined and coupled a new NIC to TCPMAINT, not TCPIP. I had to do this once, but do you think I can remember how? :) A couple of options come to mind: * use OBEY to send the commands to TCPIP * one of the options on the IFCONFIG command You may also be able to use the message interface, but I'm not sure on that...
