Step 1) load packet driver for NIC card. lh c:\lne100tx\lne100tx.com -1 -a -f -s 0x60 Step 2) use these settings in arachne.cfg Connection READY [tcp/ip] IP_Address BOOTP NameServer AltNameServer Gateway 0.0.0.0 AltGateway 0.0.0.0 Netmask 0.0.0.0 _________________________________________________ That's it... it's that simple. No IP addresses needed, no DNSs need to be speced.... BOOTP does it all automatically. -- Glenn http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/ http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.table.html Arachne at FreeLists -- Arachne, The Premier GPL Web Browser/Suite for DOS --
