Technical Center, Moline,IL Lines: 24 Thanks for the replies to my request on helping to configure MacTCP. Unfortunately, no one had a solution, but I think I have narrowed in on the problem.

My assigned address is > 192.0.0.81. Apparently MacTCP doesn't like the zero's in my net address. If I choose a address like 192.1.1.81 or 192.43.2.81, then MacTCP seems to think it is ok. If I use my real address of 192.0.0.81, MacTCP doesn't seem to load and NCSA Telnet will quit trying to connect with MacTCP. So, the dilema. I can get MacTCP configured, but I can't talk to anyone else, since everyone on my network is on 192.0.0.node and we don't have any routers. Question: Is 192.0.0.81 a valid address? I know you are not supposed to use a node 0, but that isn't the case here. John
