Re: Setting up TCPIP on new i5

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could follow the detailed instructions that are sent with all
new boxes !!!(just kidding)

The 525 I installed back in May didn't have a single scrap of
information on how to do anything. I found that pretty amazing
considering this was a $50,000 box. Setting up the tcp/ip proved
to be the biggest pain. I was very lucky that the box was ordered
with a twinax console, so I could at least key the commands in
to setup tcp/ip.

Since this is a new box, you are also able to call software support
and that can speed things up quite a bit.
