Ron, Your PORT statement should be fine. It's recommended in the z/VM manual.
The NETSTAT ALLCONN display shows that JES's NETSRV is listening (waiting for a connection from another TCP/IP) on port 175. It also shows two established connections - one JES NETSRV connection between 10.100.5.71 (your z/OS?) to 10.100.5.72 and one between 10.100.5.71 and 10.100.5.73. Is either of those your z/VM? I think the z/OS & JES stuff all looks ok - onto the z/VM side... What happens now when you start the LINK? What does a QUERY LINK show? What does a QUERY NODE your z/OS node id show? Sorry this is so painful. Me being in the UK in a different timezone doesn't help... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
