I'm with Clark on this. The settings seem fine to me. You CANNOT have DHCP
with MacTCP! Only with open transport (which won't work with OS 6).
Since most modern networks use DHCP, this is a real limitation for OS 6
users. In my last place of work the IT group laughed at my predicament and
gave me a fixed address on their network! But my current IT group don't have
a sense of humour (all unix/linux geeks :-( so I had to install os 7.1 and
open transport on my current work "ole Mac".
I wish somebody would update MacTCP so it would work with a DHCP server.
That's never going to happen.
Is that a big job? Maybe on day I'll have the knowledge....
IIRC MacTCP supports BootP. DHCP supports BootP although it can be turned off in some DHCP servers. And it may not work well or at all in MacTCP. -- -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting
