happened...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana>NB: First: I connected my LAN
cable to my P3-Server which has my original BlueQuartz server on
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana>a: I was able to host & ping
from its user-account at its console.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana>b: I also tried via my
client-browser with: 192.168.0.100/login </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana>...and was able to login to
BlueQuartz.<BR>c: Next: I connected my LAN cable to my Dell 1850
server</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana>1: Do you have connect LED
illuminated on the server and switch/router?<BR>A: Yes</FONT></DIV>

port on server...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana>A: I tried both, and it made no
difference.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana>Q: Does it matter which I connect
to ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Verdana>2b: ...recheck netmask and
