Then you can set an IP address. Otherwise, you may be able to see the JetDirect's IP address if you run a network monitor of some sort. I'm pretty sure ntop would show it as long as it's plugged into a hub with your computer (not a switch). (ntop is listed as "forbidden" in ports because it has a remote exploit. You can modify the Makefile to install it, but be sure you understand the problem and that the system is inaccessible from outside.) -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
