The problem was that I was using dotted octet notation to specify the host, and for some reason, this was not being translated correctly to the proper IP number (32-bit integer). I switched to using the DNS name instead, and bingo! cheers, gary "Gary Stephenson" <gstephenson@fns.com.au> wrote in message news:Hwbd6BJ0FHA.6160@S15147418... > Hi all, > > Greetings from Tehran! > > Has anyone out there encountered any problems with opening a socket > connection to a Z/OS (IBM mainframe) host?

Hi all,

Greetings from Tehran!

Has anyone out there encountered any problems with opening a socket 
connection to a Z/OS (IBM mainframe) host?  And, most importantly, were you 
able to resolve said problems?

I've investigated all avenues I can think of, but alas, still no cigar!

many tias,

Hi all,

fwiw, I have tracked down my problem.  The problem was that I was using 
dotted octet notation to specify the host, and for some reason, this was not 
being translated correctly to the proper IP number (32-bit integer).  I 
switched to using the DNS name instead, and bingo!

cheers,
