I had exactly the same symptoms, and the problem turned out to be an incorrect setting for the "route" in "\tcpip\bin\setup.cmd". Having that pointing to the wrong machine (not sure if it didn't exist or what) caused anything sent from the PS/2 to be lost. What's likely happening (what was happening to me) was that when you ping the PC from the sun, the PC gets the message, but the reply gets lost. Hope this helps, Louis
