That is interesting.

I tried it from two seperate machines, one is the bootserver.

Not sure how to go about that. I've not had good luck with sniffers 
(sniffit).
I tried to find another sniffer and can't seem to locate one that works.
 ie., won't compile, etc.

Why would it ARP if it's setup with a fixed ip?

No firewall on my lan. I ftp and telnet back and forth across my lan on 
a regular basis.
It should be just fine. The mvme2604 tftp's it's bootfile over the same 
lan without issue.

I have tried. "no route to host" is what I get. But I just figured it 
was highly likely that ICMP
behaviors were not enabled.

I'm not sure what we can learn from this. The ip entry for "dc1" is 
clearly absent from
the route table listing. I suspect the problem lies there.

Thanks.
