What has that got to do with ethernet? That is the localhost address.

Hello Doug
I am not a expert in net, but this is a check for know if your network card is ready. After that you can config tcpip.

Only one problem with that, you can ping localhost even if there is no network card in the computer.

Thank you again for all the help. Here are the results of pinging "home" on my workstation.

With the ethernet cable unplugged and the 506L turned off (there is no network card):

Well Richard,
Now you have to configure TCP IP.

Neil Waldhauer:
What happens if you ping the D-Link 506L?

If the D-Link has given the ThinkCentre an IP address, open the DHCP monitor to see what it is, or type on command line:

ifconfig lan0
