Jim,

Your problem is that you have defined two different LINKS in NMMGR to have
the same physical address. What you really want is to use the named link
DTSLINK with its path on your LAN configuration screen. You will also have
to delete the extra link (TOL948) that you have configured. This is
actually done on the NS side of NMMGR. Go through the Unguided
configuration and delete the link. Validate both DTS and Netxport and you
should be all set.

Doug.
