Booting an Mx on Ethernet.

        I'm trying to boot a u-Explorer on Ethernet and am having
        problems.  Very simply, when I boot having the Built-in
        Appletalk option in the Control Panel, all is well.  But when I
        try booting with the Ethertalk option on, the machine simply
        doesn't know where to get it's namespace files from, even though
        they are on a local volume. And as a result, is not able to load
        up its file system.
        
        I initially thought that it picks up the local file server info
        from its BOOT namespace which may be disk-saved on to its load
        band.  But after making the necessary changes and doing a
        disk-save it didn't seem to solve the problem and it keeps
        giving me a WAIT NFS msg.  in the wholine and comes back with a
        pop up window which tells me to choose one of 6 options
        (changing its name, contact another nameserver, create a new
        namespace etc.).
        
        The reason I need to boot off Ethertalk is that I'm running a
        separate (C) application which communicates with an IBM
        mainframe.  Instead of using Appletalk, I'd like to switch to
        Ethertalk and get faster downloads.
	
	Can anybody out there help ?
