As an update, I downloaded the disks that normally shipped, and I ran their installation and configuration programs. Didn't help, the diagnostics program lacks a DHCP diagnostic, and all other diagnostics test OK.

Still the same prob -- can't automatically obtain an IP address. And it never even seems to try; usually on a p-100, if it fails to get an IP you can see slowdown as it waits for an IP, there is none.

Interestingly, durind install there was a DHCP check, which passed. Why it won't work now is beyond me...
