VM?  That's Samba's nmbd process, not CP.

This isn't much of an indication of anything.  Samba will put out that message 
as long as the network interface is up, whether or not any traffic is flowing 
over it.

Which login is it that's timing out?

This looks fine to me.  What do you think is wrong with it?

That seems a little odd.  I would only expect that if the interface had been 
brought down and back up again after setting the route.

So, where's the "network unreachable" error?  I don't see that here.

If I were doing what you're doing, I would try doing all the work from the z/VM 
guest's console.  I would do: 
ifconfig eth0
---> Take a look at how many bytes and packets have been sent and received so 
far
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 10.14.80.41/24
route add default gw 10.14.80.1 dev eth0
route -n
ping -c 3 10.14.80.1
---> This should work.  If not, something is wrong.
ifconfig eth0
---> Again, look at the number of bytes and packets to see if they've changed.
qetharp -q eth0
---> Are there any entries in the ARP table?
#cp q nic details
#cp q vswitch detals

Has the external switch been configured to route packets to the 10.14.80.0/24 
network to the OSA?  Are they doing any VLAN tagging?  Are they running Layer 2 
or Layer 3?
