I have seen many people posting about using their RT's with ethernet.
Alas I cannot seem to piece it together. I have all the appropriate
files with the appropriate setting, _except_ the fact that I never used
the devices command and I am pretty sure I need to. I enter and go
to the 'add' function. But there does not seem to be any available choices
for adding it. I know this is kind of vague, but I am not sitting at the
console right now and can't remember what the exact message is when the
system comes up. The daemon appears to boot up but when I try to Telnet
out it claims 'network unreachable'. I am getting ready to order the
Communications guide to installing TCPIP but didn't want to wait for
it if someone could push me in the right direction.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

After you do that, when you run the "devices" command you will see that it has a new option, for "adapters". That is what you are looking for. jw

This could be caused by a couple of things: 1. Did you install the Baseband (Ethernet) Device Driver from the VRM Device Driver diskette during installation? 2. In devices, you need to choose adapters after add and then net, for ethernet. When you finally add the device, make sure that the interrupt level and the storage addresses specified match the card plugging; the defaults are not always the same on both the card and the command.
