I'll assume you mean zp0 here, which you use below. >It attempts to load from zp0 and fails - can't resolve IP host - Are you using the BNC or the RJ45 connector on the card? If you are attempting to use the BNC portion, add '-link0' to the extra flags section to have it select the BNC connector. >strange since other systems on the same physical network have no >problem (using the same gateway and resolver). If the machine isn't able to talk on the ethernet, it certainly can't resolve anything. :( Nate -- nate@sneezy.sri.com | Research Engineer, SRI Intl. - Montana Operations nate@trout.sri.MT.net | Loving life in God's country, the great state of work #: (406) 449-7662 | Montana. home #: (406) 443-7063 | A fly pole and a 4x4 Chevy truck = Heaven on Earth
