As a follow-up to my recent posting about TCP/IP problems...

It took IBM Product Support a week of working on this problem to 
discover that it is a common one, and that there are several levels
of "corrective services" (bug "fixes", you wascawwy wabbit!) for
TCP/IP.  After wasting my time for a week, they gave me another number
to call. Arrgh!

I DID receive the communications cookbook in the mail -- which is, of
course, loaded with erroneous info -- several command options which it lists
for "ping" don't exist, for example!

If I ever get the net up and running, I will post a recipe.  I still don't
know why the X on DOS software sets the Ethernet Address of the local
host to 00 00 00 00 00 !!! Is that a bug, or is it related to the ARP??

again, any e-mail replies appreciated.
