Hi all It looks like I have a firewall problem on the linux guest. I've checked with my N/W team, who tell me the SSH port is open on all firewalls between me and the mainframe.
However, when I try to SSH in, I see the following messages on the VM guest console: - sfw2-inext-drop-deflt in eth0 out mac ... etc Which seems to suggest that suse firewall is blocking SSH. I can't logon to disable the firewall, so I think I'm stuck. I tried re-booting the lpar from the linux CD to re-install linux, but am now getting stuck on entering the MAC address during network setup. I select OSA-2, Ethernet, QDIO, enter my data channel addresses, enter the port name, then I get prompted to "Enable OSI Layer 2 Support 1) yes 2) no If I select 2 (no) I get kicked back out to the beginning of network setup. If I select 1 (yes) I get prompted for a MAC address. I found out (after a couple of hours) what the MAC address of this OSA card is, but what format do I enter it in? I've tried: - 123456789ABC, 123456789abc, 12:34:56:78:9A:BC, 12:34:56:78:9a:bc, 12.34.56.78.9a.bc, 12.34.56.78.9A.BC (Not the real MAC address, but you get the idea) None work. They just kick me back to the beginning of the network setup. HELP!
