    Hi,

    We have AIX 5.3 installed .It is a 64 bit machine with CHRP but was running only 32 bit kernel.The 32 bit kernel was changed to 64 bit kernel.I am not exactly sure of the other modifications made to the server but the server stopped pinging.Even it was not pinging the local host.The error we received was
    Socket resolution call failed.Socket not supported in the current protocol family.

    Any solution.

    Thanks in Advance.

    You didn't give much details, but troubleshooting begins with:
    Check for ipaddress using
    ifconfig -a
    Routing using:
    netstat -rn
    Ping your own address and then the default route
    and of course, check the errorlog: errpt -a | pg
