I forgot to add a route for the net because I did not know it was necessary here. It is working now even without that. I could not start NFS (I am unfamiliar with how it is done in Debian because things are in different places) so I am using FTP. I wish I knew which network card module is working. Probably ne2000 since that is the first one I installed and I believe that is what I used with Caldera. thanks -- Andrew
