NCSA Telnet will not make a connection. The regular PC-NFS Sun telnet will. NCSA Telnet reports: "Conflict with Ethernet hardware address <gives address> ERROR: The conflicting machine is using the same IP number." There is only one ethernet card in the machine: a 3COM. First, there is no other card in-house using this ethernet address or IP number. I checked the distributed /etc/hosts for a duplicate IP. Besides, PC-NFS doesn't complain. We opened the machine and moved boards around, checked the interrupt/DMA/ I/O address on the 3COM board (it is using the factory defaults). We removed every board except another 3COM (from another micro and even put in the video card that was in the other micro), the sub-system board and and the disk drive controller.. Each time we made a change, we turned the micro back on and tested it. We tried the ethernet card in another micro, works fine. What's more confusing is that the NCSA Telnet will work once and then gives the above message if the micro is rebooted. This is rebooting without making any changes. We removed all our drivers from config.sys except the 3c501.sys. Has anyone seen this problem? Does anyone have the source code and can tell what failure is generating this message? --Heather Ebey -----------------INTERNET: hebey@ucsd.edu-------------------- Heather Ebey, MicroLab Support Voice: (619) 534-2448 UCSD, Academic Computing Center, C-010, La Jolla, CA. 92093 -----------------BITNET: hebey@ucsd.bitnet------------------
