Hi George,

Thanks for all of your help. I finally got it to work. It is behaving itself nicely. Thanks again.

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.

George.

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.

Hi Stephen,

Please don't keep me in suspense, especially on a Sunday
morning before I've had breakfast! (Smile)  Are you
working
now, or at least making some progress?

George.

Hi george,

Yes, the utility does have an ip option and it does allow
you to specify an ip.

When I tried that, it said "transfer complete.  Your
suggestion of having to use a usb or parallel cable
answers
the question as to why I kept getting no ip. Thanks
again.
Much appreciated.

Hi Stephen,

I'm at home right now, but as I recall, you can turn off
the DNS/DHCP
function. I just can't recall if you do this via the
Embosser's own
setup, or using the Embosser Utility.

You'll need to use a parallel or USB cable, but the
Utility has an IP
Address option in one of its two or three menus, so can I
suggest you
look at the Embosser utility?

George.

Hi George,

I tried pinging again after awhile and got request timed
out again. I
checked on the index and the ip had reverted back to
zeros.

Next thing I'd try Stephen, would be to connect the
embosser direct to
your PC's network port, and try pinging the embosser
again. If it is
OK, then it perhaps points to a router issue, which is a
whole other
ball game.

If it fails, then there are two possibilities. 1) The
network cable
may be suspect, or perhaps crossover when it should be
straight
through.  Or 2) you need to change the IP address.

George.
