    Hello,
    I'am having trouble with a LHE-Adapter on a Power7 Express 8233-E8B.
    I have succesfully configured a LHE-Adapter to a LPAR on this machine.
    The LPAR is AIX 5.3 TL11.
    ping works.
    But if I use this Adapter for excessive FTP-Transfer (e.g. 80 Transfer at once) to an iSeries we got "Connection timed out".
    If i use another Ethernetadapter (Dual Port ent1) it works well.
    There is no firewall between those machines (same subnet).
    entstat -d ent4 brings 0 Errors

    Just to answer myself.
    AIX 5.3 TL11 SP01 is not supported for Power7.
    Minimum Level is SP2 or above.
    Problem went away, after applying those Fix-Level.
