In order of what happens.
I connect the printer to the JDEX, connect power. I get Status Light
blinks slowly. I connect network, Status light goes solid, network blinks
a few times, Status light goes out, Fault light blinks, error page prints
on printer. Status light returns to solid, Act light blinks, Status light
goes out, Fault On, error page... repeat until I disconnect from network.
As soon as I disconnect from the network, Status light starts blinking,
error pages stop. If I disconnect the printer but leave connected to
network, Fault light stays on solid all other lights off.
When I run this on a "private" network, everything works just fine. I can
even print to the printer normally from my Mac (haven't tried the PC).
However, the HP firmware downloader still can't locate the JDEX.
So it looks like it is getting an error due to something on my network.
My guess would be it doesn't like the BootP info my DHCP server is
sending. So I am going to try getting a different BootP server for my
Win2k box, one that also handles downloading of config files, and then
run that on a "private" network. I'm hoping once I give it an IP address,
I can get to it via the HP firmware downloader and upgrade the firmware
and the error problem will go away.
