Can the DNS make it appear to not even find the connection, as though the cable is not connected? The response I get (or lack of) looks like it would if the cable were not connected. Looks like I have a bunch of things to try.

But setup hammers /etc/resolv.conf so I just go edit i.e. manually. Should look like so for google dns, use others if you prefer: nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4 -- Tim :wq On May 4, 2014, at 7:49 PM, Willem Schreuder <willem@prinmath.com> wrote: On Sun, 4 May 2014, Bob wrote: After the ACID load is complete, using a DHCP router, I run "setup" from the command prompt, and configure it manually, IP, netmask, gateway, and DSN.

Bob, what you are doing seems correct. I tend to manually edit files, but there is nothing wrong doing it from 'setup'. Bottom line, there is nothing in ACID that prevents this from working. I think you probably just have some field wrong somewhere. I would approach it bottom up - try pinging the from the AllStar computer to the gateway using IP addresses, then using a symbolic name to test NDS, and work your way up. I bet you will find some subtle misconfiguraton somewhere is causing the problem. 73 Willem ================================================================ Dr. Willem A.
