On the back of the box, between the AUI and BNC connectors, is a button that selects if you using AUI or BNC. And a green light that shows if you have a link. Try to toggle the switch to see if you can light up the green light, on one of you two networks. I would guess no green light is the cause of the above self-test failure. I don't think a single BNC terminator will work. Try a T-connector and two terminators instead. -- Kirk Russell <[email protected]> Bridlewood Software Testers Guild http://www.ba23.org/
