Quick test - after entering this data on the TCP/IP setup screen and
beginning the install (e.g. the point where the ftp to ftp.cdrom.com
eventually times out), try pinging this box from another box on the same
wire. If you can't even ping it, it's the 3c509 not talking to the net
for some reason and you should boot DOS, run the 3c509 setup diskette
and disable plug-n-play mode if it's set, also verifying the settings
against what's shown by the -c option to boot:
