Just so you know the rest of the story, I was able to pick up an
inexpensive switch at Radio Shack and interpose it between the server and
the hub. Once that was done, the network connection from the Power 6
server came up.
I call this the Cookie Monster solution. If it asks for a switch, feed it
a switch and it will be happy.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Mark,
Thanks for the suggestion. I had thought of that, but wasn't sure that
it
was a viable option. Unfortunately, the nearest Office Depot (actually a
Staples) is more than an hour away. Maybe I can find something at the
local Radio Shack?

Run to Office Depot and by a $50 switch and see if it works. If it does,
cascade the switch to the hub. Might not do much for you speed, but the
Ethernet adapter will at least sense a switch.

Subject: Power System vs. The Hub
Just installing my first Power i and I've run into a snag. I am
installing a Power 6 8203-E4A but the ethernet line will not vary on.
IBM
support is recommending that I replace the hubs that run the office
network with switches because the ethernet card in the Power 6 is not
compatible with a connection to a hub. The hub I'm using is a 10/100
dual
speed Office Connect from 3 Com and has been in use here for about 10
years. Our trusty old i5 520 running V5R3 gets along with it just fine.
Has anyone had any experience with getting the Power 6 to work in an all
hub environment? This is pretty foreign to me. I don't want to lay out
money for a new office network topology if I don't have to.
