A guess, but is it a real 8232 or 3172? If so, both devices had some timing problems that would cause them to be late to respond if you hit them with a request at exactly the right time in their initialization cycle. Once they got organized, it would work properly. You may need to increase the wait time a little bit to let the device get organized and reply to you (if you remember, it'd be a few seconds between the time VM TCP did a start on the device and you got the "home address is..." message on the TCPIP console. Same problem here, I'd think). -- db
