Thanks!

Right now, no OS because I can't get it on the network without it
erroring. I do have a DHCP server that claims it is giving it an IP, but
I can't tell if the device is actually accepting it.

I do have HP's firmware utility on Win2k, but it can't see the device
(but it also can't see any of my working JetDirect internal servers
unless I tell it what specific IP to look at... its auto discovery
feature doesn't seem to work). I also have HP's LaserJet Utility on a Mac
which also can't see the device.

I'm going to look into the hpnpcfg app you mention above, and see if I
can create a BootP file for it. Maybe my DHCP server isn't giving it what
it wants as a BootP response and it is getting confused. (my DHCP server
doesn't fully do BootP, rather it responds to a BootP request with an IP,
but it can't handle config file downloads, so I might need to run
something that can).
