Hi All,
I've run into a problem with TCP/IP on AIX 3.2, hopefully someone can
shed some light on this weird problem. I've used smit to configure the
network - which works fine within the subnet. The gateway points at the
building router (x.x.132.1), and, a netstat -rn returns this on the
default route as well.
But, no traffic gets out of the building. A traceroute shows the first
hop is made to x.x.132.63, where it dies - a seemingly random PC, which
is not in any configuration file on the system. Any ideas why this
might happen?
T.H.x.

Correct netmask? Correct interface? Anything interesting in the arp tables?

Post your 'netstat -rn' please.

I'm coming to this thread way late, but better Nate than lever....
If you've exhausted all the basic prospects, probably the next thing
I'd do is an rmtcpip and reboot. That (assuming 3.2 *had* rmtcpip; I
don't have a 3.2 box or docs available) unconfigures everything
including the interface.
AIX pre-v5 is really bad about retaining ghosts of previous network
configs if they're not reconfigured in exactly the right procedures.
It's possible to track all that down, but just whacking everything and
starting clean is much easier.
