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 Dave Stuart Prin. Info.

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.
