Here is a quick addendum to my previous plea for help.... Part of the problem solved: It turns out that I was suffering from system incompatibility problems.... in my mind anyway. I had turned on /etc/nologin to keep users away from the troubled machine (the gateway) and I didn't realize that, unlike SUN OS, IRIX also keeps root from remote logging in when this file is around. So this is also the reason why I can't seem to rlogin to the 4D/35 which is on the subnet. That aside..... Part of the problem still unresolved: I am still having problems getting this Etherboard to perform properly. No packets for the subnet are passed through. The board keeps "failing" and being "restarted". The system occaisionally crashes with kernel faults.
