Re: [foxboro] RE-RE-REbuilding a WP70

>>Guru ???
I tell my son that I only know more that him because I broke more stuff
in my life that he has...



Well, as I recall, the Red/Green is effected by the serial part of the
link, not the Ethernet. So, a) is the serial cable (the other half of the
"Y") on Comm1 ?  Is the Cat5 cable in between OK?  (If its an older Foxboro
"Cat 5" cable, they had a manufacturing defect building that metal hooded
connector which lead to one or another broken wires)

Is the system talking to Comm1 ?  (though I think you'd have had to try
hard to mess that one up)

Processor name correct? Oh, and you didn't mess up the letterbug 
correlation to SysDef, I assume.

Subject: [foxboro] RE-RE-REbuilding a WP70

I/A NT guru needed.

I have a Dell GX240 WP70, that recently died.  In an attempt to 
resurrect it, we had to do the re-initialize the harddrive.  It then 
boots up as NT4.0 Service Pack 5.  We installed I/A 6.4 Day 0 for NT 
Nodebus and did everything just like the installation manual says (or 
so I think), including loading the correct I/A device drivers.  Long 
and short it will NOT get on the nodebus.  It is connected to a DNBX 
and the DNBX is red-green and stays red-green. Letterbugs are 
OK.  Everything was working before it died.  The IP address is 
correct , based on SYSDEF, but I cannot ping anything on the nodebus, 
nor can anything on the nodebus ping me.  We are stumped.

Any suggestions, including throwing this paperweight out, are appreciated.

Regards,
David
