Sorry, but it didn't seem to work. For the decstation hostname I just used "decstation" and added an entry into my /etc/hosts for the the IP address I think it is. However, I am not sure exactly what ip address it is nor do I know how to figure it out. I figured out by turning on promiscuous mode I get the connection to my box but the decstation still does the "???" thing as I mentioned before. Any ideas are appreciated, and thank you Dave.
