One step ahead of you. I just pulled my Win2k machine from the network
and plugged it and the JetDirect directly into their own hub (was easier
to use a spare hub then to crawl under the desk and use a crossover
cable).
Now the error problem has gone away (not too surprised), but the HP
Downloader on the Win2k machine STILL can't see the jetdirect. Next step,
add my Mac to the mix and see if I can see it over AppleTalk.
