This appears to be a 6890A (s/n 6573) that had been used with a mass spec as gauged by the hole in the side. I installed a new detector, which the instrument seems to recognize. There was a network card installed (G1369-66500), which I set to all configuration switches down (off) IIRC.
Not having a crossover cable, I made my own by switching the two wires and crimping a new RJ45 plug on it.
No joy with plugging it in and pinging 192.168.0.12, so I messed around with as many settings as I could. No joy.
Using BootP and following the instructions here:
https://www.agilent.com/cs/library/quic ... ersion.pdf
I use the MAC address I read off the card, the hostname I assigned is Agilent6890, and I've used several IP addresses; if I want to use 192.168.0.12, do I use that here?
Subnet mask I assign as 255.255.255.0 and gateway is 192.168.0.1. Restart Agilent BootP Services. Power on the GC, and ensure network settings are correct:

Pinging 192.168.0.12 yields "Destination host unreachable," as does 192.168.0.1, and 192.168.254.11.
The log file on BootP says this:
10/31/18 22:54:09 PM
Status: BOOTP Request received at outer most layer
Status: request from IP addr: 192.168.1.3
Error: IP address not found: 192.168.1.3
Status: BOOTP Request finished processing at outer most layer
Tftpd64 says 192.168.1.3 is the Wireless-N 1000 interface (I think).
I am not using Chemstation so I cannot change the network settings there.
Agilent GC Firmware Update gives me "Unable to connect to instrument" using IP addresses 192.168.0.12, 192.168.1.3, 192.168.254.11, 192.168.0.1, and 192.168.0.10.
What am I doing wrong? Anything else to try?
