I wrote about my HP 16702A not working on Ethernet any more.

I tried it. Didn't work. I also tried connecting the 10base2 to a 10 Mbps hub, and another port to my "real" network, and that still didn't work. As HP-UX boots, it says: <timestamp> auto_parms >> Network was disabled by boot scripts on previous oot. Re-activating the network. 8/16/6 <macaddr> 0 UP lan0 DOWN 4 ETHER Yes 52 <timestamp> auto_parms >> /sbin/auto_parms, checking network for DHCP server (see /etc/auto_parms.log) Then in the progress list, it shows: Configure LAN interfaces .................... [FAIL] * Check LAN Status .............................. [N/A ] [...] Configure HP Ethernet interfaces ......... [ OK ] Configure HP 100BT interfaces ............ [N/A ] Configure LAN interfaces ..................... [ OK ] Then once the logic analyzer application is up, it shows an error log window, which says There was a DHCP error . Network was disabled. But if I go to network settings, it says: Network hardware not usable - Is the network connected? And all of the radio buttons (e.g., to select "standard" configuration instead of DHCP) are greyed out and I can't configure it. I think the Ethernet ports on this beast are dead. :-( I'm not sure whether it's the CPU board or the I/O board that is dead, but Keysight, or whoever they are this week, wants more money for either of those boards than eBay pricing for a used 16700A or 16702A.
