Hello,

I've created a 5.3 WPAR from a mksysb.

The install and startup are all fine.

I can clogin to the wpar and I from there I can ping another LPAR (not the Global LPAR)in the same subnet and I can ping the default gateway too.

I can also telnet from my wpar in to my other LPAR.

From my other LPAR, which is on the same physical Power 7+ system and in the same VLAN, I can ping the wpar IP address but I cannot telnet in to it. I get:

Telnet is the main method of connection to the physical AIX 5.3 system so I need to be able to get to this WPAR via telnet too.

Any ideas why I can ping but cannot telnet in to the WPAR? Everything is telling me my networking config is good.

Thanks

Glenn

Check the output of netstat -a | grep telnet. It should read:
