Hi Mark, 

Ok, "rcnetwork start" came back with some positive results.  For eth0, 
0.0.0510, I received messages showing the showing the configuration file and IP 
address.  So far, so good.  For 0512, eth1, I received messages that there were 
errors opening the device.  How ever, right now one is better than none!

I also issued the "route" and "route -n".  route took several seconds to 
return.  The last line of the route -n does show the correct default gateway 
for eth0.  Again, so far, so good. 

However, I am still unable to connect to eth0.  A ping in from my PC and from 
other hosts on the same subnet still time out.  And a ping out still says 
Destination host unreachable.  Progress is that I also receive the Destination 
host unreachable when pinging out to my PC.  So it picked up the route and 
default gateway and tried to use it.  

Also, where is a good place to read up on rebuilding initrd and running zipl.  
I have no experience with either. 


Thanks, 
Dave

More than likely you're correct, the default route isn't set.  Try "rcnetwork 
start" and then "route" to see if one shows up.  Or, "route -n" and you should 
see this at the bottom:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         192.168.0.30    0.0.0.0         UG    1      0        0 eth0

The all-zeros destination and Genmask identify that as the default route.

I still believe you'll need to rebuild your initrd and re-run zipl.  Once 
you've done that, reboot and see if things look better.
