Well, going back to square one.... I was given a set of networks: 192.168.192/22 I picked on address: 192.168.193.3 as my VM IP address, with the rest for VSE and Linux images. (no I don't need that many, but I will live with it for now.) When I tried: HOME 192.168.193.003 QDIO0 PRIMARYINTERFACE QDIO0 GATEWAY 192.168.193 = QDIO0 1500 0.0.003.0 0
On TCPIP startup, I got: DTCPRS007E ERROR ENCOUNTERED IN READING ZVMV5R11 TCPIP *: DTCPRS052E LINE 239: SUBNET MASK NOT COMPATIBLE WITH NETWORK ADDRESS Which seems to be the 192 being a class C and I'm subnetting a class B type thing. This should be taken care of by supernetting. Apparently, I haven't configured something to enable supernetting to be envolked. I see some references in the manual about ROUTED and MPROUTE along with supernetting. Are either of these required in order to use supernetting? Second question... I would like to draw a picture of this. Just what software would normal Win/2000 types have that may do this that I can attach to an email?
