I have the following problem getting a two station netinfo
network going:

This setup works for me:

1> Turn on netinfo and configuration server in the following 
network configuration:

        T----C----T
             |
             |
             N (netinfo server)
	     
        T:  50 ohm thin ethernet terminator
        C:  ethernet "T" connector
        N:  NeXT machine

2> I then rewire (with the n&c server still on) to get the following configuration
and power on the second machine:

        T----C--------------------------C----T
             |                          |
             |                          |
             N                          N

        T:  50 ohm thin ethernet terminator
        C:  ethernet "T" connector
        N:  NeXT machine



This works fine, but obviously, I shouldn't have to rewire the thing.

I should be able to use the following configuration, boot up the server,
then boot up the client:

        T----C--------------------------C----T
             |                          |
             |                          |
             N  (netinfo server)        N (netinfo client)

        T:  50 ohm thin ethernet terminator
        C:  ethernet "T" connector
        N:  NeXT machine

However, when I turn on the server, I get a "cannot find parent server" message.

Blecch.

thanks,
