>You are using a bootp server or a DHCP server set to support bootp?
I have a DHCP server running, and its logs indicate that it is responding
to the BootP request and issuing an IP.
>Does the status page show that it's receiving an IP address?
I can't print a status page if I connect to the network. So the only
status page I can print shows no IP address assigned (naturally, since it
isn't on the network yet).
As soon as I connect the box to the network, it's activity light blinks
for a few seconds, and then the Fault light comes on. If I also have the
box connected to a printer, it dumps out a "Reboot" page to the printer,
and gets stuck cycling like that (Goes to Ok, then fault, prints a page,
repeat until I disconnect from the network).
The first one of these, I got a while back from someone who knew nothing
about it, so I assumed it was probably just broken. But the other day I
bought one on ebay for $5 (missing the power supply, which was fine since
I had a power supply already), and it too does the exact same thing. That
kind of makes me think there is nothing wrong with the unit, but rather
something wrong with either the settings, or I just need to upgrade the
firmware. Alas, I can't upgrade the firmware without an IP address
because for some reason the HP Downloader software on my Win2k machine
won't find any of my JetDirect devices until I specify their IP address
(it couldn't find the 3 internal ones I have on the network that work
just fine).
