Chris, do you have a crossover ethernet cable handy? Try using that to
connect the JetDirect box directly to the NIC on the Win2K box, and see
if that helps. That way you eliminate any interference for any other
device on the network.
Of course if your Win2K box gets a IP address from the DHCP server,
you'll need to switch it to a static address... But since they'll be
isolated, it won't matter what address you give it.
