Check your INETDCNF.NET.SYS configureation file. You appear to have bootps enabled. You can disable that "process" by putting a "#" in front of that line. Example: # # Internet server configuration database # echo stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal echo dgram udp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal daytime stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal daytime dgram udp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal time stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal time dgram udp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal discard stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal discard dgram udp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal chargen stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal chargen dgram udp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal #telnet stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS internal #bootps dgram udp wait MANAGER.SYS /SYS/NET/BOOTPD bootpd #tftp dgram udp wait USER.TFTP /SYS/NET/TFTPD tftpd ftp stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS /SYS/ARPA/FTPSRVR ftpsrvr Here I have disabled telnet, bootps, and tftp. Bootp is a process that will assign IP addresses to requesting devices, such as JetDirect boxes when powered up. You probably already have a DHCP service running on a PC server that does this for you. OR You can search the archives for recent postings about bootp and how to configure your HP to do that task (I haven't got there yet)! > _____________________________________________________________ > Keven Miller mailto:[log in to unmask] http://www.exegesys.com > >
