I assume this was aimed at me, although if it is, it is from a very old 
thread.

No, I never located a manual. I was able to get it to take an address 
over bootp eventually. My problem turned out to be my bootp server was 
sucky. Bootp was apparently tacked onto my DHCP server as an afterthought 
and it just didn't work well. When I moved to a different BootP server, 
the problems went away. (I ended up using the BootP portion of MS Win2k 
Server's DHCP server).

Possibly you have the same problem. Maybe it wasn't so much my BootP 
server was bad, as the JetDirect is overly picky. So maybe it is just 
incompatible with your BootP server as well (I too had two of them doing 
the same thing before I tried changing my BootP server).
