Thanks for your response John. Are you in Cincinnati?
I finally got STN to work.
I believe I had a NIC that wasn't responding, even though it was identified
correctly during bootup. What's weird is that it was the ISA card which I
thought was working the hole time! I replaced it with a PCI card like the
one already in the system (SMC with tulip driver) and bingo.
The way I found out what the problem was with the dhcpcd hangup was by
switching the role of the two cards. I used STN config to make the card
tagged as internal (PCI) be the external, and vis-versa with the ISA card.
That's when I got passed the dhcpcd hangup.
Then the dhcpd (server) would not work for my win98 and win95 PC's, so I
figured that it must have been a bad (or misconfigured) card the whole time.
And I thought I was having problems with the PNP PCI NIC...
Bottom line, I think it works fine now.
In case anyone is interested, on the external net tab, I had "DHCP provides
network info" checked, but everything else was blank. You don't need the
RoadRunner logon in Cincinnati!
I hope this helps someone else.
Dave.
P.S.: Thanks to John Lombardo for helping me. This is great software!
