rest of the info is pretty much the same

it takes a long time for eth0 to be assigned an IP. It does on the first
boot too, when it always does connect to the shares, but not quite as long that
the next times when it doesn't connect.

Sounds like your DHCP server is not serving too well. What device is providing the addresses?
In any case, it's probably easiest just to go to static addresses and bypass all this. Particularly if you only have a couple of nodes, it's not exactly a major issue to maintain a static setup.
If you want to go this way and are unclear about what settings to use, just post again.

Thanks for looking into this. I've tried setting to static from the drake network tool, several times, trying to follow info I found. No joy on pinging Win95 either. Those Win machines have static IPs set, and can talk to each other, which I don't want to lose, so I'm reluctant to mess too much on that side, especially since the **** thing always works with dchp from a virgin install. Maybe I should go back to 9.1.
But I'll be delighted to try static again, so fire away. appreciatively, cliff
