Steve,

This is a process of elimination. The configuration process is for all machines 
hooked to the system. You had not previously said how many machines we were 
dealing with. So far you have not done a proper configuration sequence. 
Remember, in Ver7, you cannot do a "Configuration" in the "Advanced Mode". You 
must disable the Advanced mode by going into Settings, Preferences and 
unchecking the Advanced Mode, then X out of the OS program and reopen it. After 
the Configuration has been completed , you will need to go back in and reverse 
this process to re-enable the Advance Mode option.

I would try this...unplug the ethernet cables out of 2 of your machines. Go 
thru the configuation process with each machine independently. Try it with Ver 
7 first and then see if you can open that machine in Ver9. One of the machines 
is not being recognized, by your description, by the computer. This may be 
because of a bad ethernet cable or connection or a bad port in your ethernet 
hub/switch. Swap cables around on 1 machine at a time.....swap ports on the 
hub/switch. Set the serial numbers for the machines during the configuration 
process. Ver 9 does this just a little differently but the process is the same.

In short, deal with 1 machine at a time. If you have the,  or a crossover 
cable(yellow), then use that and eliminate the hub/switch out of the loop. If 
all you have is the ethernet cables, then keep the hub/switch in the loop but 
try different ports.

If you can get each machine to respond and be recognized during the 
configuration process,  you have now been able to verify that they can work. 
Now, with all machines hooked up....get a grey screen by opening OS and then 
turn on the machines 1 at a time.  If you have all of these machines on a power 
strip, don't let all of the machines try to load up at the same time during 
this process of elimination testing...

Ther are more things to check, but try these first....
