"Packet driver (Cabletron NIC) Class 1 Type 51 Version 103 Extended 2 Requested paket class does not match driver class Could not initialize hardware level network driver Error intializing network or getting configuration file" Are we doing something wrong or do we need a not yet available driver? Nope, sounds like you've got the packet driver installed correctly. I need more information to tell you what's going wrong. If you fetch the packet drivers from sun.soe.clarkson.edu:/pub/ka9q/drivers.arc, and run 'trace' and then 'dump' and send me the output, I can tell you more about what's going on. Cabletron has chosen to write their own packet drivers. That's all very well and good, but they also should include some of my packet driver tools to help people use their packet driver. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) Russ.Nelson@$315.268.6667 Violence never solves problems, it just changes them into more subtle problems
