We've got a netmask of 0xfffff000, which appears to be the source of some problems. The best I can tell, I should be using en0 (I'm using the BNC on an 802.3 network). But the machine can only ping itself. Grr. Anybody have any hints? I'm at 3002 on a 320, there are plenty of other machines on the subnet. I've cranked up etherfind on a sun, and it doesn't see any packets coming from the rs6000. Yes, the 6000 is plugged into the thinnet cable. That was the first thing I checked. And the connector is good, I tried it on a working machine. Thanks for any help... -- J.
