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.

Thanks!
Chris, what OS are you using with the JDEX? The
manual mentions IP address
only with UNIX. Run hpnpcfg to create the BOOTP configuration files,
specifying the IP address. The configuration info is downloaded from BOOTP
each time the JDEX is powered on.
Right now, no OS because I can't get it on the network without it
erroring. I do have a DHCP server that claims it is giving it an IP, but
I can't tell if the device is actually accepting it.
I do have HP's firmware utility on Win2k, but it can't see the device
(but it also can't see any of my working JetDirect internal servers
unless I tell it what specific IP to look at...
