Hello System-Administrators,

I had my NeXT connected to the Net via the ETHERNET port for
a while. Now I had to take it off again and operate it as
a standalone machine.
Although I set the Local Configuration in NetManager back to what
it used to be, my machine is still looking for the ETHERNET.
It interrupts the boot process with an errer message telling me
that the ethernet is down or my machine is not connected to it,
and then prompts for the hardware password.

What else do I have to change, to operate the machine again
without a network?

My  NetManager  Local Configuration looks now like this:

     Network Type               Address                 Netmask
x NetInfo Network          x Autoconfigure           x Default
o Non-NetInfo Network      o _____________           o Automatic
     Hostname                  Router                o __________
x Autoconfigure            x None                       Broadcast Addr.
o _____________            o Dynamic                 x Default
                           o _____________           o ___________

o NetINfo and Configuration Server
    
      NIS Domain Name
x None
o _____________



where   x stands for selected
        0 stands for not selected
        _____ is a text field


And it did look like this, before I put the machine onto the
network! What do I miss ???

Please mail help to     schmidmeier@evax.eng.fsu.edu

Thanks,   Rainer
