	I had this problem with my 3/160. What I did was:

	Make sure that bootparam is in the /etc/services and inetd.conf
file.

	Also, make sure that if you are using DNS, that you set up a DNS
entry for your computer. My system looked in DNS for the client info, and
no where else. Until I added the computer to the DNS files, it wouldn't
work.
