Actually, it does. >Hardware address = AA-00-03-01-1D-E7 What your 'ncp show line una-0 char' report is showing you is the hardware ethernet address before DECnet changes it. Try looking at an Ethernet monitor. If you are running TCP/IP on that host they try looking in the ARP cache of another host or router on that network for the Ethernet address that is actually being used. Jeff
