Bill,
Could we get you to test the SIPB Install Disk? You don't actually
have to re-install the machine. All we need to know is that the boot
disk will work and get you on the network. To test this, you boot
with the install disk, walk through the questions, enter your IP
Addreses, and then mount the install server. If it actually mounts
the install server, then we know it's working, and you can exit the
installer. If it doesn't mount, then there is a problem (and again,
you can exit the installer ;)
I'm not sure if we have something to test, other than the original
SIPB Install disk.
Thanks,
-derek
