The machine is a P75 with an Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 network card. = The docs don't say if it's supported, it just says the Ether Express = Pro. Anyway, device lp0 is found as a tcp/ip compatible device when it = first boots up. However, I either get the message that lp0 couldn't be = configured, after getting a list of 2 ppp comm ports or the lp0 device. Why isn't it configuring lp0 properly? The io address and irq are = correct. The machine is on a LAN connected to the internet. Also, if I = boot up with -c and try to enable or disable, or change any settings at = all for the lp0 device, it's not recognized. The ix or ix0 or whatever = device for the etherexpress is recognized with all the proper io & irq = settings, but I never see that in the list of options to make the ftp = connection. Is this workable or should I just go buy the cdrom? Thanks. Chad
