Nmap relies on packets that require layer 2 responses. Unless you explicitly have set up TYPE ETHERNET guest LANs or are using layer 2 VSWITCH, you won't ever get any responses, because the OSA ucode intercepts them, so nmap decides things are down.
Wrt to arp, yes, that's normal. The layer 3 OSA code is intercepting ARP before you see it, so the host has no arp cache. Saves a few cycles in that your guest doesn't have to respond to every ARP request, but confuses the heck out of normal network tools. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
