Brian, You show four sets of xxx's in your netmask file below but I'm not sure whether you mean xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or xxx.xxx.0.0. In my file, the last tw= o numbers are zeros and it seems to work ok. I have an AW-51B though. My problem back in July turned out to be an le1 and le2 problem. I thoug= ht I had an le2 but really it was an le1. Somewhere in years past, maybe during Y2K upgrade, the le2 was replaced with an le1 and I had forgotten about that. If I had not had a bad brain cramp that day, it would have been obvious.

Yes a 51A, an oldie but goody, still runs like a top, if you don't ask it= to do too much. I did get everything working, but I had to resort to a startup script. ...Maybe the network configuration is different on a 51A. Next week I will try another box (AW51B). Hopefully that one will work without resorting to a script. < _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
