Anyway, I've got my EtherExpress 16 card recognized by the kernel, but even with the gateway and DNS servers named, I get the message 'network is unreachable'. I _think_ I need a dhcp client package or a port. I've read a bit a documentation and it says a bit about wide and isc dhcp servers that also support client stuff, but I'm confused about what exactly to do. I've also seen people referring to bootp, but nobody says what bootp is exactly. Help. Thanks in advance --Matt
