It might also not be using the proper memory size. When you boot from floppy, type "-c" immediately at the boot prompt. When it goes into configure mode, type the following: iosize ed1 16384 flags ed1 4 then do an "ls" and make sure the IRQ, memory and I/O addresses match; you can change the configuration similarly, although they default to IRQ 5, I/O 0x280 and Memory at 0xd8000. The "flags" command is the critical one. You'll have to do this every time you boot from floppy, and the first time you boot from hard disk. You should build a new kernel with the proper configuration or the next time you build one for another reason, it will get reset and you'll have forgotten why your network stopped working. -- Alan Batie ______ We're Starfleet officers: batie@agora.rdrop.com \ / Weird is part of the job. +1 503 452-0960 \ / --Captain Janeway DE 3C 29 17 C0 49 7A 27 \/ 40 A5 3C 37 4A DA 52 B9 It is my policy to avoid purchase of any products from companies which use unrequested email advertisements or telephone solicitation.
