Known problem. The install forgets what you requested and installs with
the defaults. Use USERID and PASSWORD.

One interesting thing I've noticed during my career is that repeating a
sequence that failed twice is a likely method for getting it to fail
again. :-)

This could be a lot of things. ISP, NIC etc. iptrace might reveal where
the conversation dies.

One thing to check. The eCS installer has a tendency to forget to install
\mptn\etc\protocol and \mptn\etc\services. Given that some of your TCP/IP
apps work, this is probably not your problem, but it's easy to check.

Make sure you get the updated drivers for this card from the eCS site.
