sorry, it's a dump terminal so NIC is invloved. I can ping the terminal from the server, but the terminal is unable to reach the server. The DHCP seems to be working since it gives me an IP address in which i can ping, but still comes up with this error. If i had a PC with NIC i would try what you suggested before i had posted on this site. Being that it is a dump terminal or what else is called a thin client, i am at a loss for what to do.
