Okay.

Sounds like you might have made a typo setting the IP
address or
other network setting on the file server.  IL runs on
top of IP,
and the ICMP protocol that ping uses more or less sits
next to IP,
so you ought to be able to ping the file server
regardless.

Anyway, the next step would be to double check the
network
settings, I think.

I took your advice and tested the cables and NIC
cards. Used a linux debian disk to test network
connectivity and it works great. I'm able to ping the
CPU/AUTH server but not the file server. I'm sure
everything is setup properly. Below is the list of
commands I use to fire up the fileserver.
	service lance
        ip 10.0.1.41
        ipgw 10.0.1.1
        ipmask 255.255.255.0
        ipauth 10.0.1.40
        config w0
        filsys main w0
        ream main
        end

users default

But I'm still not able to ping the server. The boot
disk that I used was created via WIKI instructions and
it displays my NIC card and its MAC address on bootup.

Please let me know if I'm missing anythin.

William-
