Just ignore the wireless interface beyond loading GenMAC and the usual entries in PROTOCOL.INI. The first time I encountered LLA was when configuring a large HP plotter (blueprint-sized machine, which took roll paper). I couldn't find the blasted thing on the network (it wasn't a network I'd set up, so it was all static IP). The plotter was waiting for a DHCP response, and when it didn't get one, it just decided to use LLA and gave itself a 169.254.x.x address. This, of course, left me stumped until I figured out the front panel of the thing, as I had no clue why I couldn't find it anywhere on the network, even when sniffing for port 9100 (the default HP network port). Dumb idea if you ask me. Cheers. I hope I've helped relieve some of your stress. ;-) -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------- Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC www.2rosenthals.com Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com Secure, stable, operating system www.ecomstation.com -------------------------------------------------------------
