Everyone who replied to my posting on HP3000-L and the ITRC web site,
thank you.

However, you all overstate the obvious -- don't use the OVERRIDE option!

No matter, it is the only thing that gives me a network. Without it the
network is dead in the water.

When I first purchased the box in 1999 it was running under 5.5 and the
network worked fine. No need for OVERRIDE. Everything was in sync.

The problems began after I had done the upgrade to 6.5 PP2. From that
moment onwards I had to use the OVERRIDE option.

I suspect I have network modules belonging to 5.5 and 6.5 which is giving
me so much grief.

Last weekend when I did the upgrade to 6.5 PP3 it got even worse. After
starting the network the system would freeze/hang after a few minutes.

So, I eventually put everything back to 6.5 PP2. It works ok, but I have to
use the OVERRIDE option.

As I do not have software support with HP (as an independent contractor
their fees are too high) I am pretty much screwed so even if I found out
which modules are out of sync how do I get everything back in sync without
paying through the nose for it?

Thanks,
Brian Donaldson.
