Yes, of course it's the same thing. I tend to use the terms "BNC", "coax", or "RG58" for this, and "10-Base T" for UTP. Thus the confusion. > I don't do anything except what's in rc.conf: > > ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration. > ifconfig_ep0="inet 36.33.0.163 netmask 255.255.0.0" > ifconfig_ppp0="inet 36.33.0.157 netmask 255.255.255.255" No, that's fine, it's my misunderstanding. >> This won't cost you much, and you can do it from where you are >> (assuming you haven't gone to bed yet). > > I tried it--it didn't change anything. Thanks for the quick > response. I think I will take my wire cutters to work tomorrow :) I still don't see why you need wire cutters. If this is coax, the two most likely causes are: 1. Somebody tripped over a cable somewhere and split the network into two non-functional halves. 2. Somebody removed a terminator. See if the other machines on the net work first. You may have a fair amount of debugging ahead of you. Greg
