A 3000 series machine can be booted with one of 3 kernels - tcp, nfs, or xns.
It sounds like you are running nfs.  Your machine will have to be re-booted
using the 3000.xns kernel, which will allow you to dogfight but will render
the machine worthless on nfs (it's a trade-off).  If you are really desperate
to dogfight, you boot up the xns kernel, do your dogging, then switch back 
and reboot with the nfs kernel.  If you can't figure out 
how to reboot different kernels, e-mail me and I'll fill you in.  
Suggestion:  buy 4D's.  This problem doesn't
exist on 4D platforms.  After all, dogging is the most important things
these machines do :-)
