The new^h^h^h machine waiting on my desk when I arrived here was, as I expected, on the dark side. I've performed the preliminary exorcisms, but can't get the network going.
This thing is on a novell network, and has an SMC ethernet card with a dec 21041 chip. The de4x5 module installs just fine, but I can't get the network to start. I've looked at the howto, but the only novell references seem to be about using novell servers (which is one of next week's tasks). For the moment, I just want this working;. Under windows, it seems to have the same IP address every time. I can ping & traceroute this address once I telnet out, and it seems to be the same one every time. There is only one hop at the university before this mac hine, and it is at 1.1 in the Class A domain for the University. I've told the network configuration that this is my rooter. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the network running? The prospect of using windows and word is more than a little chilling . . . rick
