Fixed it! When I turn off "ifconfig de0 -link2" the link2 I get a message that says enableing 10baseT port, and when I turn it back on "ifconfig de0 link2" I get a message that says enableing 100BaseTX port. Everything works good now. Thanks!! Jim... -----Original Message----- From: Greg Lehey [SMTP:grog@lemis.com] Sent: Monday, October 13, 1997 9:40 PM To: James E.
