Ethernet address

I have tried posting this a couple times already, but haven't seen it yet,

so once again:

My original message was:

All who responded had the same basic answer. There is no separate Ethernet

address. The address is obtained from the ID PROM, not the Ethernet board.

A couple responses hinted that the problem was that both boards could not

be on the same subnet. This was exactly my problem. Everything worked fine

once I set up the netmasks correctly.

Thanks to everyone who responded, and espescially:
