***chuckle*** Yeah, I should've mentioned that that was the first
thing I checked. On mine, the button is recessed, so I would need a pen (or
such) to hit it.
Also, when I started it up after the power down, I didn't put the
BNC Tee/resistor combo back on yet. It's back on now, and no change.
In the ifconfig file, "AUI" (or "10Base-2" for the BNC) is the
correct entry for media type, right? It's not some other wierd thing, is it?
Thanks (in advance) again for your helping a VAX newt...
