I used to have that problem. We run TCP/IP and the dog that comes
with the machine is XNS. I got the TCP/IP dog source a while
back and compiled it, now I no longer get the "Ethernet init failed".
As far as I know, you only get an "Ethernet init failed" if you are
trying to run a version of dog that doesn't match the protocal your
machine is using.
The only problem I have now is that it floods the network with too
many packets sent to broadcast, thus over loading the network. I wish
dog had the ability to read in a file of machine names and only send
packets to those machines. Has anyone done this? Without this option
I can't try the network option of dog.
