I finally got the setup screen on the w95 box; had to reset again before
it would take the default password. That box won't do anything
network-related. This one will ping itself if I call it 192.168.254.89,
but if I call it by name it tries 192.168.254.101 (which is set up under
the name in Network Device Control) but can't ping. I set the other two
boxes (though one is out of service right now) as .90 and .91 but still
can't ping to/from .91. This box (192.168.254.89) will now ping
192.168.254.254 but won't connect with the net.
