I did not RIS my system since it didn't get a response either but I was able
to get a DHCP address, use email, surf the web etc. All regular functions
seem to be running normally. I have tried 2 other system types today and
none of them are able to get a connection to the RIS server. In one of
those cases it had previously been RISed on another network.
I am not using a boot floppy for these installations. I have configured
them to boot to the network and the firsst 18 worked like a charm.
