We're trying to run soss.exe with the 3c503 packet driver. We've gone thru 'custom netdev' and set the IP address numerous times. When soss runs it exits with the error "PC IP address not known. Use BOOTP or CUSTOM to set your IP address or contact your network administrator." When Custom runs, it shows the proper address. We've got netdev.sys in both the root and soss directories and have the device=c:\netdev.sys line in config.sys. Anyone know what's wrong? NCSA Telnet works fine. Thanks in advance. =================================================================== Jim Drummey Access Technology, Inc. Natick, MA !harvard!necntc!gordon!jpd

True, you may not have an 8 bit subnet, but see if that gives you some progress. The subnet mask should change to 255.255.255.0 from 255.255.255.255 and SOSS will at least be able to find its IP address.
