You did Neil, and I found it.  When I run the trace on an inside ping, it
works great, I see a single record for the ping:

COMMUNICATIONS TRACE       Title: PINGing inside                    02/27/01
Record       Data    Record           Controller  Destination   Source
Number  S/R  Length  Timer            Name        MAC Address   MAC Address
------  ---  ------  ---------------  ----------  ------------  ------------
     9   S       33  22:47:19.74600               FFFFFFFFFFFF  0004AC3EB4FD
                     Frame Type :  ARP           Src Addr: 10.1.1.60
D
                     ARP Header :
00060800060400010004AC3EB4FD0A01013C000000
        Data . . . . . :  AB7A000096999481 A389

(Data truncated due to 5250 display, but you get the idea).

When I do the exact same trace for pinging an address outside the subnet, I
get no packets whatsoever - I get a CPF39B9, no trace records found.

This machine just doesn't want to talk outside its net for any reason.  I
looked at system values, and nothing looks bad.  To add insult to injury,
all of IBM's AS/400 service sites are down, so I can't even access the
forums.
