To configure a box for use on the LAN, you might need the driver on the machine where the IPMI controller is for doing the actual configuration, if your box doesn't come with a utility to configure it. For that, OpenIPMI has a "CONFIGURING_FOR_LAN" document, and ipmitool is a nice utility, too, for configuring this. -corey ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
