Actually, I haven't even gotten my LTSP /hardware/ set up yet.  I'm 
running XP Pro/SP2, and my router does the DHCP.  I managed to find the 
JD, but not the power supply. <SIGH>  IIARC, I tried holding down the 
'test' button after hooking it up to my router and plugging in an old 
Fujitsu DL-1100 printer into 'Port 1 (config page)', but couldn't find 
it on the network.
