CliniComp Computer and IP address - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Subject: CliniComp Computer and IP address

...
 By all I can tell its a workstation with a network boot
rom that
allows it to look for a network server.
After bootup is says "Requesting an IP Address", it repeats this 
over several times and then reboots to restart all over again.

Anyone have any suggestions how I can get around this, and if
there is no way to get around this, If I set up another computer
as a server would it find it and connect to it as a workstation ?

This thing is really neat, and I have a great use for it in my
home automation project, so I hope I can use it.
The display is large and very good quality for a flat panel.
Thanks in advance to anyone with some suggestions.. 

After closer inspection of this computer I am convinced it is
intended as a workstation only. But is a very nice computer,
with the best resolution I have ever seen on an LCD screen.

Problem is I have no way of knowing what IP address it is
looking for..

Again after its normal bootup it says "Requesting an IP Address"
It has a standard RJ45 connector on it for network interfacing.

Can anyone here with some network experiance help me out on this.

Can I get this thing to work or is it not possible ?

I would like to set up one of my other computers as a possible
server and see if it will attach to it..

Thanks in advance to anyone with some suggestions..

Phil...
