The cable between rl0 and the modem is not connected. >2. The cable is faulty. So far, so good. Also, re: point 2.... unless the picture is really like modem -- [hub or switch] -- rl0 You may need to use a cross pinned cable between modem and rl0. One may have come with the modem; if you substituted another ethernet patch cable you had on hand, that may not work. Or vice versa, if you have put a hub or switch in the mix, you may need to replace the modem's provided crossover cable with a normal one. -------------------------------------- Greg Barniskis <gregb@scls.lib.wi.us> Library Interchange Network (LINK) South Central Library System (SCLS) (608) 266-6348 www.scls.lib.wi.us
