The video card that's in my IIcx that was having the same problem is a
simple Apple 8*24 card.  I thought that was a pretty standard card?  Any
suggestions on that?

I think my config was ok.  IP of 17.1.1.2, netmask of 255.255.255.0 and
broadcast of 17.1.1.255.  Even if it was, that shouldn't cause the machine
