Hi Stephen,

I think at this point, a call to Sighted would be your best
bet.

However, I will try to locate my network port information
when I get back to the office.

Hi George,

I've told the embosser to obtain an ip automatically.  I
then had the embosser print the page.  It came back with an
ip of 192.168.1.210.  The subnet and gateway, and tftp were
all there as well.

I then proceeded to ping the beast and damn, if I didn't
finally get a positive response.  Hoooray!

What is the next step?

And, thanks hugely for you patience and help.
