Thank you all for your suggestions. They were all good and will probably be handy in the future. But in this instance the problem was due to what i can only call “user interference”. Someone decided that the cabling wasn’t to their liking and used a few adapters and some wiring techniques i don’t think i’ve ever seen before (and hope i never see it again).

Remote configuration only works to a point and it’s not always the next best thing to being there!

Thanks again!!

It might take a while; but 8 = display jobs; on each connection will give the name of the device attached to the IP address. This I have used to look at devices on the BOSANOVA twinax controllers. My guess is it will also show what yours is.

If you do a TRACEROUTE ‘printerIPaddress’ from your iSeries or tracert printerIPaddress from a PC, does your converter show up as the last hop before the printer?

Or, if the printer is connected to the converter by twin-ax, isn’t the IP address you already know and are saying belongs to the printer really the IP address of the converter? Use that address in a browser and see if you can’t bring up the converter’s management pages.
