Thank you Mr Brown for your help.
  I tried to copy the contents of the file but when I did "nettrap -vvvvvv start net.file 2>&1" following the show_pci -
v command.. I get a "tr164a: TR hardware init function failure code=0008" error.  My cpu then freezes and I have to 
reboot.  Any suggestions?

No, you just run dhcp.client and if you have a dhcp server on your network,
it will give you an IP address.

There is a TCPIP 5.0 update on our web, but I don't know whether this will
solve your problem, as I don't know what you are trying to achieve.

If you ping 192.168.1.30, you are pinging yourself, so this will work. How
are you connecting to the external hard disk? Is it via a switch or a direct
cable? If it is a direct cable, it it a crossover cable? Can you connect to
your internal network and ping other machines?

If you look at the output from 'netinfo -L1', does the Media Rate line show
a speed? If not, then that is why you cannot communicate. Try connecting via
a switch.

1000Mb/s HDX is an invalid duplex for gigabit. Gigabit should only work at
1000Mb/s FDX. I suggest you try a switch.

Does the hard disk work on another machine with the same IP address?

Good Grief,
  I figured out the problem.  I hardcoded a minor change within the sysinit file.  However, the main problem as 
embarrasing to admit, was that the IP address was being read from the ethernet port in the pci slot and not the 
motherboard as I had the cable plugged into the entire time.  As much as I was switching cables about, I neglected the 
one from the driver..so quick switch...worked.

Well..back to EE 101.  Thanks for all your help and patience Mr. Brown.
