    Dear All,

    I have an RS/6000(7044-170) and just configured the new AIX 5.3. I would like to assigning ip address.I have tried using smit to do it many times trying different things, and I can get an ip assigned but it doesn't communicate with the network or internet,but I still can't get it to work.I find some SCR message during assigning with smitty tcpip command.

    Enter "smitty tcpip"
    Move cursor to desired item and press Enter.
    Choose -->
    Further Configuration
    Move cursor to desired item and press Enter.
    Choose -->
    Start Configured TCPIP Daemons
    Output should resemble:

    Checking for srcmstr active...complete
    Starting tcpip daemons:
    0513-029 The syslogd Subsystem is already active.
    Multiple instances are not supported.
    0513-029 The sendmail Subsystem is already active.
    Multiple instances are not supported.
    0513-029 The portmap Subsystem is already active.
    Multiple instances are not supported.
    0513-029 The inetd Subsystem is already active.
    Multiple instances are not supported.
    0513-029 The xntpd Subsystem is already active.
    Multiple instances are not supported.
    0513-029 The snmpd Subsystem is already active.
    Multiple instances are not supported.
    0513-029 The dpid2 Subsystem is already active.
    Multiple instances are not supported.
    0513-029 The hostmibd Subsystem is already active.
    Multiple instances are not supported.
    Finished starting tcpip daemons.

    I would appreciate your help because this problem is really keeping me in trouble.

    Thanks

    AIX 5.3 is already out of support, it came out 8 years ago and went end of support back in April.....

    "I can get an ip assigned but it doesn't communicate with the network"
    Is there a network connection?

    Can you post the whole smitty screens and the options you are selecting?

    What is the output from entstat for your adapter?
    
entstat -d ent0


    What is the output from ifconfig?
    
ifconfig -a
