In answer to Stanley's (or is Stan preferred?) question, no I could not rlogin
or telnet to the WP. I did not attempt to ping the box.
As I indicated previously, I was going to reformat the hard drive and reload
from a backup. But prior to doing that I decided to try simply rebooting the
machine. Instead of just selecting Reboot_Station from the menu, I selected
Shutdown_WP. I then halted it and entered boot. I don't know if it is just
chance, but I have had problems with the reboot command where machines
(including this one) have had to run through multiple iterations of fsck before
finally coming up clean. In this instance the WP came up smoothly and
everything was fine. Because I am cynical by nature, I repeated the process
(let's call it the "soft touch shutdown") with the same smooth restart.
Neither the hosts or wpcplns files were changed/corrupted. The fact that the
machine came up well, suggests that there was no corruption in ANY of the files
- otherwise a repeat of the FoxSelect failure should have occurred.
So, I still don't know what threw the station into a loop but things are
running normally again.
Thanks for all the suggestions. It's always educational.
