When somebody used TOPS on an EtherTalk-connected Mac, the FPS4 (running
K-Star) didn't crash but lost lots of packets. Most especially PINGs for the
CAP server. :-(
There seems to be something very strange going on.
My advice: Drag TOPS to the trashcan and use something better...

No problems with this one here.
The trick seems to be just to set the IP address to boot from and leave
about everything else on its default settings.
