I had the same problem. I fixed it by changing the max adress off the fox bord.
If you make a ssh connection to your fox bord (user = root; password = pass) then you can change the mac addres with the following command. $ vi /mnt/flash/etc/conf.d/mac This will start vi (text editor). If you press the "insert" key you will be able to change the mac adress. There is an other way: This is done by changing the system variable $DEFAULT_MAC. $ vi /mnt/flash/etc/init.d/mac Here you'll find the following line DEFAULT_MAC="00:40:8C:CD:00:00" If you change this, the red will not blink at the next reboot. My personal advice is to change the mac adress and not the system variable $DEFAULT_MAC. Because if you change the $DEFAULT_MAC, the mac address is still going to be the default mac adress and there will be a conflict if you have more than 1 fox bord on your network. - Sam Buls - --- In [email protected], Sergio Tanzilli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Stéphane > > > I think the web site http://www.acmesystems.it/?id=57#5000 > > <http://www.acmesystems.it/?id=57#5000> is not so clear.
